Grant programs exist and allow general physicians to receive a payback to cover a part of their expenses for their Electronic Medical Record (EMR) license. They were created to make EMR more accessible. In fact, many studies have concluded that computerizing physician's practice ensures a better quality of care for patients and makes their everyday work more efficient. Almost the entire EMR license cost is covered by those programs. Here are the two main existing programs and references to learn more about them.

General physicians
