The Digital Health Records Market

A New York Times article titled, Wal-Mart Plans to Market Digital Health Records System, reports that Wal-Mart plans to delve into the marketing of electronic health records. The target consumers would be physicians working in small offices. This will be a joint effort involving eClinicalWorks, a software provider, Dell and Sam's Club. The objective is to bring down the cost significantly. The recent economic stimulus bill provides as much as 19 billion dollars in incentives for digital medical records.
