July 16, 2012 - PRLog -- EMRapproved, a Chicago IL based provider of healthcare information technology (HIT) online education tools and resources; announced today that it has approved two new contracted groups to assist healthcare clients with their EMR and HIT technology needs in Tampa, Inverness, Citrus County and surrounding regional Florida service areas.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) legislation created to stimulate the adoption of electronic health records (EHR) and supporting technology in the United States. President Obama signed HITECH into law on February 17, 2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), an economic stimulus bill.

The HITECH act stipulates that, beginning in 2011, healthcare providers will be offered financial incentives for demonstrating meaningful use of electronic health records (EHR). Incentives will be offered until 2015, after which time penalties may be levied for failing to demonstrate such use. The Act also establishes grants for training centers for the personnel required to support a health IT infrastructure.
