EHR's are known as electronic health records, it was reported that the vast majority of doctors have not adopted the standardized use of these electronic health records, which allows the doctors, hospitals, rehab facilities, skilled nursing homes and other health care providers to share the health information about a patient electronically.

It was revealed that the percentage of physicians ranged from 9.7% to 27.2% who have fully functional systems for electronic health records (EHR).

The CEO of EHR Solutions, Dr. Angel Garcia said:"Tracking medical problems can prevent complications of chronic illnesses such as heart attacks; strokes can increase overall quality of care. The cost savings of having widespread adoption of EHR in the U. S. healthcare industry would reduce healthcare costs by more than 30 percent per year".

He added that this would result in savings of more than $720 billion per year, which would be sufficient for insuring 47 million Americans without health insurance.

Moreover, the Health Information and Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009(HITECH Act) has allowed the sharing of medical information with medical providers and with the Government. And by the year 2030, there would be 72.1 million seniors in the United States.
