Dublin, Sept. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/stqbsd/electronic_health)
has announced the addition of the
"Electronic Health Records - Charting the Future of Health
Care" report to their offering.
Electronic Health Records have been in limited use since the 1960s,
but their adoption received a major boost when they became more of
a focus for the US government. In 2004, President Bush put forth
the goal of having every American covered by an EHR within 10
years. In 2009, President Obama added the key element of funding
under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The EHR
Meaningful Use Incentive programs funded under the ARA were further
bolstered by programs in the 2010 health care reform legislation
which promoted Accountable Care Organizations.
After the results of the November elections and the Supreme Court's
ruling upholding the individual mandate, the future for health care
reform would look more sure. However, recently some Republican
members of congress have turned their attention to EHR programs,
questioning whether they are an effective use of funding.
The report, Electronic Health Records - Charting the Future of
Health Care, was designed to provide insights and analysis on a
topic that is being felt from government agencies to treating
physicians, while also impacting the pharmaceutical industry. CBR
Pharma Insights not only provides in-depth analysis on the
technology being used, the adoption of this technology, and the
trends being seen locally and globally, but also how
electronic health records could impact pharmaceutical
companies.
