Media outlets are reporting that Vice President Joe Biden is going to announce a $1.2 billion program to help hospitals convert their existing medical records and record systems to electronic medical records. These grants will become available after October 1st, once the federal government’s new fiscal year begins.
At OfficeDrop, we are very hopeful that digital medial records will help make health care more efficient AND help doctors provide better care. Of course, digitizing all those existing medical charts is going to be a lot of work!
Thats very good to know… thanks
Interesting reading. Wasn’t sure the govt had grant money left to give out.
