For those who don't know the EMR (Electronic Medical Record) aka EHR (Electronic Health Record) is way over due for the patient and in the long run will drastically improve the quality of healthcare and reduce costs. Meaningful use sets the standards and provides payments from the govt to providers who follow them. None of this is related to Obamacare. Suck it up Docs. It's way past time to embrace high tech. BTW, lot's of high profile companies are working on new or modifying existing software for EMR and have a bevy of physicians consulting on designing this stuff. Some day a patients full records are going to be portable/visible to all whom the patient allows to see them and a lot of medical errors will be prevented because of the electronic nature.
