With the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) signed on February 17, 2009; Title XIII of ARRA, entitled Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) President Barack Obama allocated $19.2 Billion toward the development of healthcare IT. This act seeks to boost the flow of information throughout the healthcare systems in the U.S. by incentivizing the implementation of EHRs and the meaningful use of them.
