Stimulus Incentives for Healthcare IT
Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), stimulus funds are being channeled into healthcare information technology. The ARRA addresses a number of healthcare information technology issues and provides federal funding by way of grants and incentives to promote the implementation of technology.
As you and your physicians begin or expand EHR implementations, and exchange electronic health information, Forward Advantage can provide a trusted and reliable platform to meet your needs, as well as your physicians' needs.
