Healthcare IT Feeling ARRA’s Effects
A lot of healthcare IT professionals I talk to these days bring up how money coming down from the ARRA is effecting organization policies.
Money in the Obama administration’s push to bring HIT up to speed with today’s need is so welcome. Many HIT professionals are working to pull the various HIT precepts together into a cohesive, share-friendly system, and much of that is mandated in the ARRA.
As we embark further down the Health 2.0 road, this is welcome. We look forward to having a more robust patient-oriented hc system. ARRA money to help HIT policies don’t guarantee that, but at least it’s starting to get the resources to make it happen.
