Because of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, nearly every healthcare provider needs to implement electronic health records (EHRs) by 2014. In order to qualify for reimbursement and avoid the eventual penalties, healthcare providers need EHR software with capabilities they can use to meet the "meaningful use" requirements of the legislation. Though the legislation is fairly new, many EHR software products have already been certified to meet the meaningful use criteria.
But EHRs have many benefits aside from obtaining reimbursements and avoiding penalties. EHRs generally offer the ability to let patients see their EHR online, allowing them to be active participants in their care, track concerns and feel empowered. Because EHRs consolidate a patient's entire health record, healthcare providers will quickly be able to have information they need to provide the best possible care. By adopting interoperability standards, healthcare providers will be able to extend this advantage across a wider range of providers by participating in a healthcare information exchange (HIE).
