HHS Secretary Kathleen Sabelius announced the release of Recovery Act money geared to “build capacity to enable widespread meaningful use of health IT”. $386 million will facilitate the creation of Health Information Exchanges (HIE) in 40 states. Another $375 million will be used by non-profits to set up regional extension centers (REC), which are to help us implement Health IT. The remaining $225 million is going to schools for job training in areas such as health care. All this points to the government’s continued commitment to getting certified (meaningful use) EHR/EMR in the hands of providers.
