  • Abstract
    One of President George W. Bush´s positive legacies is the leadership position his administration took in expediting the usage of electronic health records (EHRs) and healthcare IT (HIT), and the development of the Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN). Associated with this effort was a financial stimulus to develop guidelines for the establishment of electronic healthcare information exchanges and regional healthcare information organizations (RHIOs), which the NHIN will eventually use.
