ARRA / HITECH Advisory and Implementation Services


The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 includes over $19 billion in incentives for healthcare information technology. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) portion of the ARRA will provide incentives starting in 2011 to those qualified healthcare providers who utilize Electronic Health Records (EHR) in a meaningful way. Those qualified Medicare providers not meeting the EHR criteria by 2015 could actually face a reduction in reimbursement.
