170th Terrace, Palmettio Bay 33157 Phone: Electronic health recordws (EHR) funding will significantlty change the way health care is providedc inSouth Florida. Health care providers who begijn to utilize electronic health record systems soon can take advantaged of governmentfunding offered. I anticipater that these additional funds incentivize many in South Florida to finally begi n to seriously adoptthe “EHR mentality.” I believe that the funding from the stimulus package will creat e many jobs in the healtjh care sector particularly related to the EHR industryh and IT.
