Back in 2013, when the government introduced Health IT incentive programs, the adoption of EHR\/EMR soared. It was reported that more than $17.7 billion were paid in EHR incentive payments. But even then physicians in small and solo practices were reluctant to follow this trend due to financial reasons. Despite the government incentive money, the cost to purchase and implement an EHR was simply a financial burden too great to bear for such small practices.
