I would think that $45,000 handout could be spent on computer hardware also. I could imaging the existing Amazing Charts program being renamed "Amazing Charts Light", and a new version "Amazing Charts Premium" with a price tag of $5-10K that could be bundled with hardware. My 7 year old computers are starting to show their age. I don't agree with all these govt handouts in the stimulus package, but that doesn't mean I'll turn down money either.
Don't get me wrong - Amazing Charts works fine for my needs now, but the government is changing the payment policies and pretty soon I'll bet our pay will get docked if our EMR is not "certified."
