There's an interesting article in BusinessWeek about Health IT (or HITECH if you prefer). There's a diagram that show the political generosity associated with some of the major companies that develop EHRs (electronic health records) and e-prescribing solutions. Specifically:
- Allscripts: 100% support to democrats
- Cerner: 35% support to democrats
- Epic: 98% support to democrats
- GE: 61% support to democrats
- McKesson: 44% support to democrats
- Siemens: 60% support to democrats
The economic stimulus plan includes $19.6 billion towards health IT. How do you think hospitals and physicians will leverage this opportunity?
