Congressman Jim Langevin Visits Amazing Charts to Discuss Job Creation and Legislative Impact on Healthcare Technology and EHR s.

Amazing Charts, Inc., a leading developer of Electronic Health Record ( EHR / EMR ) systems, announced the visit of Rhode Island Congressman Jim Langevin (RI-02). During the visit, Congressman Langevin viewed a presentation by Amazing Charts founder and CEO Jonathan Bertman, MD about the recent legislative impact on healthcare technology and EHR s, as well as the company's history of job creation and future roadmap.

"We are honored to have Jim Langevin as our guest at Amazing Charts today," said Dr. Bertman. "As physicians, we feel like we are being forced by the government and insurers to adopt EHR technology and it is important that we were able to brief the congressman on impacts that the Federal stimulus package will have on healthcare technology decisions."

With the Federal Government providing as much as $27 billion over the next 10 years for physicians to computerize patients' medical records ( HITECH /ARRA), the bulk of the presentation focused on the effects of the Federal stimulus on the EHR market, the overpricing of EHR s and the need for transparency at all levels, including health insurance companies and Regional Extension Centers, which exert a powerful influence on physician purchasing decisions.

Among other topics discussed was Amazing Charts being honored as the fastest growing private company in Rhode Island by Inc. Magazine's Inc. 5000 list and their contribution to local job growth.
