Patients will benefit through the efficiences that only EHRs can provide. The City will benefit by having a healthier populace at a lower long term budget. Physicians will of course be able to apply the EHR benefits to their Commercial and Medicare patients as well especially with the features incorporated in the TCNY (Take Care NY upgrade)! SV
