Bill Supports Grants For Digital Medical Records

Rep. Bryan Cutler Proposes Using $25M In Stimulus

LANCASTER, Pa. — The use of electronic medical records could become more widespread in Pennsylvania if new legislation passes.

Rep. Bryan Cutler, R-100th district, is introducing a bill that would create a grant program for health care providers to implement the health information technology.
