Question Description

I’m working on a nursing project and need an explanation to help me understand better.

If the eventual goal of EHRs is to have all of a patient’s healthcare experiences and records available through a single system (real-time records from all providers and organizations), then how should the cost of such a system be covered? What parties are responsible for what costs? If the federal or state government is mandating (or incentivizing) this connectivity and standardization, then should the system be government funded, or should private sector competitors bid to provide the infrastructure and charge for the service, based on market factors?
