Getting certification and offering a $44K incentive are different things. I can understand the former being required of software companies - but the medical providers aren't the one who have to seek certification, they have to purchase the software and are being given an incentive to do so, because there isn't otherwise an obvious cost benefit for them to switch over. I feel the software company should provide the cost benefit for the medical provider to switch over. Free market competition, without incentives thrown in, would eventually allow that.
