In which year did the health information technology-enabled health reform program begin?

2005
2007
2009
2011

The correct answer is: 2009

The health information technology-enabled health reform program began in 2009 with the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. This legislation was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and aimed to promote the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology among healthcare providers. By providing financial incentives for the use of electronic health records (EHRs), the program sought to improve the quality of care, enhance patient safety, and reduce healthcare costs. The emphasis on using technology to reform healthcare delivery highlighted the growing recognition of the role that data and information technology play in transforming the health system. The initiatives launched thereafter laid the groundwork for subsequent advancements and reforms in healthcare driven by information technology.
