Health IT may get $75 million
Physician Practice Advisor, June 29, 2005
Health IT may get a $75 million shot in the arm for 2006. On Friday, the House approved bill HR 3010, including a $75 million chunk of change for health IT. The money was part of a $602 billon Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education spending bill for 2006, the Healthcare IT News reported.
The Senate still needs to review and approve the bill before the allocation is finalized. However, if approved, the $75 million portion for health IT would be divided unequally, with $58.1 million for grants, contracts and cooperative agreements for the development and advancement of an interoperable national health [IT] infrastructure; $16.9 million will be available to fund health IT network development.
