In the past, creating a national Health Information Technology [HIT] grid was an insurmountable task. The main barriers were the high costs of implementing an EHR, lost productivity, unreliable software and infrastructure, lack of support, as well as securing patient data which prevented national interoperability and mass adoption.

Today the landscape is vastly different. With the rapid evolution of technology, the costs of an EHR system are a fraction of what they once were. HIPAA compliance has taken effect to set a standard for securing patient data. EHR software has evolved to bring patient care to a new level and create greater operational efficiency - leading to increased profit for the practice.
