AB The  effective  use  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.
