Volume 5 • Issue 4 • 1000165 J Health Med Inform ISSN: 2157-7420 JHMI, an open access journal The promise of universal provider adoption of electronic records systems has been a ‘holy grail’ for the health information technology market. Recent industry and government reports suggest that adoption of electronic health record standards outlined by the 2009 law that has funded much of the industry growth is lagging behind with a good deal of variation in provider adoption rates. These facts take on added significant as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) tie future funding to provider adoption and ‘meaningful use’ attestation by providers.Given these coming milestones and varying degrees of implementation success, serious questions remain about the future of wide-spread adoption of electronic health records systems and how the U.S healthcare system will look in the coming decade.
