 Never before has Congress been so
focused on legislation affecting information
technology (I.T.) in health care. In fact, Congress
is currently reviewing and evaluating several
separate health information technology bills aimed at
speeding the adoption of Electronic Health Records. MEDITECH
sees the government initiative to create an
electronic infrastructure which will allow patient
records to be shared across communities and perhaps
on a nationwide basis as a welcome extension of our
mission. We will continue to post news updates in this section of Industry and Press as our industry gains more press on a number of bills and emerging policies introduced this year to promote health care technology. |
