Don’t Worry…"Meaningful Use” EMR Criteria will be Basic
By Doug Wallace, Executive VP, Business Development Solutions, MyEMRChoice.com
The Office of the National Institute for Healthcare Information Technology plans to implement a basic level of initial functionality for ”meaningful use” of Electronic Health Records systems to determine who will receive Medicare and Medicaid incentives under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA 2009). The “meaningful use” criteria will then be refined in the 2013-2015 timeframe.
Basically, an EMR system will demonstrate “meaningful use” if the EMR system is able to send and receive data with CMS. The big thing for adopting EMR by 2011 is that you actually purchase this equipment and start using it.A final definition on “meaningful use” is not expected until Spring 2010.
