Fueled by the billions of federal stimulus dollars built under the High-tech Act, the number of patient health records stored in electronic databases is ballooning throughout the United States. Recent healthcare legislation encouraging doctors to adopt Electronic Health Records has turned on the after burners in with doctors moving to adopt electronic health record (EHR) technology. To further push the adoption of (EHR) technology, the federal government will begin imposing fines to doctors that have not implemented certified (EHR) technology by 2015. The effort by the federal government is in the belief that by increasing the use of electronic technology, the healthcare system will save billions by connecting these electronic health records while at the same time improving the quality of patient care. Prior to the government incentivizing physicians to adopt (EHR) technology, doctors were slowly moving towards electronic health records.
Once the stimulus bill was approved, the adoption of electronic health records by physicians took off like a rocket. The big push for adoption by physicians was due to the financial incentives offered by the federal government for those doctors that implemented certified (EHR) technology. Another requirement to earn the financial incentives is to have doctors offer their patients “online” access to their health records.
