February 8, 2018

Health information technology (IT) and digital health are transforming the way that health care is delivered, managed, and improved—while empowering individuals to more effectively manage their health and navigate an increasingly complex healthcare system.

As of December 31, 2017, nearly $38 billion has been spent under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) EHR Incentive Programs, established as a result of HITECH, in support of physician and hospital adoption and “meaningful use” of EHRs.
