Agility has been integral in building healthcare information technology (HIT) infrastructure for practices to support adoption and integration of Electronic Health Records (EHR / EMR) into the practice. With federal economic stimulus of $20 Billion in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and specifically the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) provides incentives to encourage physicians in their practice and healthcare organizations. As of fall 2010, independent studies report the following:

Adoption and use of EMR across the industry:

• 4% - Fully Functional EMR
• 13% - Basic EMR and Practice Management
• 83% - No electronic medical records system
