Can Physicians Ignore the HITECH ACT?
The Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health Act is part of the government's overall
economic recovery plan. The HITECH act aims to
ensure that all medical service providers move toward a
system of EHR by 2014.
It also requires the adoption of meaningful use standards.
While EHR implementation and meaningful use can
present great challenges for any healthcare provider undergoing a transition, ignoring them
comes at a serious cost.
