As healthcare reform becomes a major focus in the early months of the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama, HIT is back in the spotlight. Obama’s healthcare platform includes a plan to roll out $10 billion per year for five years to help physicians and other providers adopt healthcare IT.
It’s not a question of “if,” but “when” the adoption of HIT, such as e-prescribing and electronic medical records, will be required to meet new federal mandates.
Healthcare executives should no longer question the need for investment in technology. Instead, they have been asking "How do I pay for it?"
There is funding help for your organization, no matter your size, from charitable foundations, federal and state agency programs that all focus on HIT projects.
