NUR 3870 Information technology for Nursing
Project: Nursing Informatics Pioneers
One of the major drivers in recent health care reform legislation is the American Reinvestment and
Recovery Act’s (ARRA) HiTech Incentive. This act, passed in 2009, earmarked $22 billion for the adoption
of electronic health records (EHRs), with a goal of 100% adoption in all practice settings by the year
2014. The HiTech Act provides an example of the pivotal role that health information technology plays in
delivering quality health care services. Yet, health information technology is a relatively new field. This
