It's going to take more than federal incentive dollars to move the needle on EHR adoptionby Patty Enrado
I don't believe anyone in the healthcare industry believes ARRA will single-handedly drive up EHR adoption among providers. Of course, the hope is that the federal incentive money will bring physicians, for whom cost is an issue, into the fold. But what's going to really move the needle on EHR adoption?

Outstanding article. I wish the opponents of health information exchange could understand the points made in this piece. The risk of serious medical injury from physicians who can't access records generated in other health care entities is the largest challenge patients face. It contributes not just to medical errors but to duplicative and wasteful care as well.

Most of the funding allocated for healthcare go directly to states, territories and tribes, which will then distribute the money through grants, loans and other mechanisms. Check with your state's dept. of health and human services (or equivalent). Hope that helps.
