Is it fair to characterize stimulus funds as an after the fact (post implementation) performance based rebate? How do you think the feds will evaluate performance as relates to earn-out:
1. Will it be based at all on how well it meets your internal needs, or
2. Will it be entirely based on whether your EHR is able to fully connect with the NHIN?
Restated, is the stimulus money only there to help stimulate healthcare providers to build their EHR in such a manner that it is part of the national network?
