The Affordable Care Act (ACA) brought the comprehensive health care insurance reforms that sought to enhance the quality of care, increase access to care for all Americans, and lower health care costs. The EMR has been modified with regards to the ACA reforms by incorporating features that guide health professionals to employ evidence-based interventions that minimize repetition of services, improve quality of care, and reduce healthcare costs (Borbolla et al., 2019). The HITECH Act authorizes the DHHS to develop programs that seek to improve quality and safety of health care and efficiency of healthcare delivery using health IT systems (Borbolla et al., 2019). The EMR has evolved with regard to the HITECH legislation by integrating the CDS feature. The CDS streamlines the healthcare process and clinical outcomes by enhancing the quality and efficiency of patient care.
