AAFP INTERVIEW WITH FARZAD MOSTASHARI, MD, MS, NATIONAL COORDINATOR FOR HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

AAFP News Now recently sat down with Farzad Mostashari, MD, MS, head of the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology (IT). This office is responsible for rolling out the various health IT incentives and penalties contained in the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which was enacted as part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. 
 
Many physicians who have adopted health IT in the form of electronic health records (EHRs) have expressed disappointment with the technology as it currently exists, so we asked Mostashari some of the questions family physicians have been asking the AAFP.
