PY - 2022 T2 - Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2022 AB - The effective use and interoperability of electronic health records continues to be a central public policy priority in the United States and around the world. In the United States, the HITECH Act of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 established a multipart federal program of financial incentives and penalties to promote adoption of electronic health records. The enthusiasm stemmed from the potential of electronic health records to provide large-scale improvements in the efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of health care. Once a niche market served by specialty software developers, the field of electronic health records is now intensely competitive with offerings by large multinational software vendors. Mature products are available catering to the needs of individual clinicians, group practices, and large integrated delivery networks. Systems range from large-scale solutions to operate every aspect of an integrated delivery system, to software-as-a-service offerings for the solo practitioner, to targeted systems for specific subspecialties.
