About Meaningful Use:  This is a great site that explains all you need to know about how the Stimulus bill includes a component which provides over $30 billion in rewards for American doctors to bring electronic health records into their practices and use them to improve the health of their patients.  “On February 13th, 2009 the U.S. Congress passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (also known as the “Stimulus Bill), sending hundreds of billions of dollars of federal funding to lift our economy. A central component of the bill is over $30 billion in rewards for American doctors to bring electronic health records into their practices and use them to improve the health of their patients. As President Obama signed the bill into law, he declared it to be, "the most meaningful step in years towards modernizing our health care system."
