Bob Brewer Discusses Stimulus Funding Implementation
Bob Brewer, member at Bass, Berry & Sims PLC, discusses how law firms can help their clients obtain stimulus money with Business Tennessee magazine’s William Williams in the July/August 2009 edition.
From the article:
"By educating our clients regarding the provisions of the stimulus act, the timeline for release of additional information and the opportunities to get involved, we can position our clients to engage in public comment opportunities surrounding health care funding implementation, to develop business strategies to take advantage of funding opportunities, and to promptly and successfully apply for any applicable funding as it becomes available," Brewer says.
Brewer says an area of strong interest for his firm (which operates offices in Knoxville, Memphis and Nashville) is the push for the adoption of electronic health records. He says projections call for approximately $50 billion of federal stimulus funding to be devoted to this area during the next five years.
"To better serve our clients in the health care technology field, we have drawn upon two significant strengths of the firm to establish a Healthcare Information Technology Group," Brewer says. "By combining the experience and insight of our Intellectual Property and Technology Practice Group and [our] Healthcare Practice Group, we provide clients with a comprehensive approach to stimulus funding opportunities in the field of health care information technology."
