HR 5040 aims to extend financial incentives for adopting electronic health records to mental health and addiction treatment providers. It recognizes that integrating these providers into the national health IT system is critical for improving care coordination and health outcomes for those with mental health and substance abuse conditions. The bill clarifies definitions, establishes grants for facilities not eligible for incentives, and extends meaningful use incentives to more provider types within addiction and mental health organizations. This would help incorporate these services more fully and achieve the goals of the HITECH Act of promoting widespread HIT adoption.
