FACTS AND STATS
The federal [US] government will spend up to $150 million over the
next five years for health care information technology, compared
with $11 billion for the British government and $1 billion for the
Canadian government. Many experts maintain that implementation of
EHRs nationwide will reduce medical errors and costs and improve
care. However, 90% of U.S. physicians and two-thirds of hospitals
nationwide currently use paper records.
