Genesys Health System Electronic Health Records

Why is this a good use of taxpayers' dollars:

Funds will be used to design and implement an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system across the hospital, ambulatory clinics, physician offices, diagnostic and treatment centers, home healthcare sites, and other facilities that collectively make up Genesys Health System.  This project will preserve and create 45 area jobs and will reduce health costs related to patient records.
