The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Electronic medical records have become a key focus of improving care and reducing costs in the health care system. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) allocates $19 billion for health care information technology,¹ including up to five years of Medicare incentive payments — which can range from $42,500 to $63,750² — to eligible physicians who meet "meaningful-use" criteria for integrating EMRs into their practices. The Act imposes escalating reductions in reimbursement if you don't adopt EMR after the end of the five-year period.

In order for physicians to qualify, they need to meet meaningful use requirements. Optum PM and Physician EMR is a fully integrated, ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 and CCHIT®-certified, cloud-based PM/EMR solution that is guaranteed to help physicians meet meaningful use requirements.

These carrots, however, are soon followed by sticks. The Act imposes escalating reductions in reimbursement if you don't adopt EMR after the end of the five-year period.
