Regarding EHR/EMR implementation

I have been trying to research this all morning, and I'm hoping you all have some knowledge to share. I know that President Bush called for electronic medical records implementation within 10 years back in 2004, but I'm wondering if there has been a date set for compliance by hospitals/large clinics and small practices, and whether it relates to federal funding versus private sector. Also wondering if this is something that is to be determined on a state basis, rather than federal, as the only specific date I was able to find was some information pertaining to Minnesota (I believe) requiring implementation of EHR by October 1, 2015. It seemed to pertain to federally/state funded facilities, but don't quote me on that.
My head is spinning right now with all the information, but most legal information I can find has more to do with the legal aspects of EHR in potential court cases rather than government requirements for having a system in place. Just wondering mostly how the little guys (MTs with 2 or 3 local physicians) are handling this, but also if an actual date has been set.
I sure would appreciate any information anyone here has to share about this.  TIA all, and have a great day everyone!
