Abstract
In 2009, as part of the so-called Stimulus Act, the federal government made a large investment in health information technology (health IT), designating up to $30 billion in incentive payments to providers to adopt and “meaningfully use” certified electronic health record (EHR) systems. The EHR Incentive Program’s inclusion in this legislation—also known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)—was apt (111th Congress of the United States 2009). Not only could health IT funding stimulate economic activity but it could also help modernize the health care system, lay the foundation for new health care delivery and payment models, and promote a learning health care environment.
