The El Paso County Medical Society is working with the Colorado Medical Society and other component societies to help you navigate the unprecedented call for health information technology adoption that has accompanied the federal stimulus bill.   The bill provides $19 billion for physicians to use certified Electronic Health Records in a meaningful way. While you may be getting pressure from vendors or be worried about meeting deadlines to receive the largest possible incentive, now is not the time to rush into buying an EHR.
