HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act provides financial incentives for healthcare providers who implement electronic health records (EHR) and also helps in easing the budgetary impact of EHR thereby facilitating implementation. ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) also provides funding for healthcare providers who adopt EHR but HITECH specifically addresses the implementation of EHR. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and ESIGN (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act) are not related to budgetary impact of EHR implementation.
