N1 - Funding Information: national level. Notable examples include the Defense Department’s introduction of new technologies in the US, as well as the creation of new standards that were subsequently adopted by others.269 The Defense Department also largely funded the design and development of early computers during the thirties and the forties. Some of the ideas developed under this sponsorship later got adopted by the mainstream industry. Similarly, the current version of Internet is a descendent of the ARPANET that was initially funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in the sixties. As a result of these examples and challenges discussed above, standardization of the disruptive innovation related to EHRs can occur only with the federal government playing the leadership role in the US.
