Great news for non-profit hospitals

Did you see the May 11 directive? Hospitals can now donate EHR software and support to their doctors without IRS penalties or problems with their non-profit status. The goodies are here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/ehrdirective.pdf .

I think this is a pretty exciting example of a big government entity getting out of the way of the common good! Hopefully this will help lots of doctors to affordably adopt EHR technology.
