‘I chose the topic of electronic health records (EHRs). Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have become increasingly prevalent since the 1990s because of the national initiatives to promote their adoption. In 2004, President George W. Bush highlighted the need for hospitals and healthcare providers to implement and adopt EHRs. President Bush called for the full adoption of EHRs within 10 years, and he created the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) within the Department of Health and Human Services to support this effort. In 2009, President Barack Obama made an unofficial order to use EHRs by all healthcare providers and hospitals. By 2017, 96% of all hospitals and 80% of all providers had adopted a certified EHR.
