Interesting article about the rise of the Electronic Health Record, largely accelerated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in 2009. Medical practices have long been behind the curve in terms of business technology, but the federal mandate and federal money has allowed that to change. A standards based method for systems to interact and exchange health data is a wonderful thing that should benefit patients and providers tremendously.
What do you think about medical records/billing/etc moving away from paper and into the cloud?
