The HITECH Act

The HITECH Act

President Obama signed HITECH into law on Feb. 17, 2009, as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) economic stimulus bill.

HITECH offers new options for IT professionals interested in doing innovative healthcare tech projects. For example, Section 1561 of the Affordable Care Act includes recommendations for interoperable and secure standards and protocols that facilitate electronic enrollment of individuals in Federal and State health and human services programs.
