HHS continues push for EHR adoption

Federal health officials came to New Jersey recently to push a plan that would encourage doctors to adopt electronic medical records as a way of improving patient care, The Star-Ledger reports. Under the government’s five-year demonstration program, as many as 1,200 primary care practices nationwide would receive financial incentives to embrace the technology, Deputy Health and Human Services Secretary Tevi Troy said during a stop at Rutgers University’s Newark campus.
