The Race Toward EHR Meaningful Use Is On
PA REACH West is now helping 2,000+ providers throughout western Pennsylvania improve health care by giving them the tools and the support they need to become meaningful users of their electronic health record (EHR) systems. To achieve meaningful use of an EHR, providers need to reach three milestones established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Those who are successful will have fully functioning EHRs, helping to assure quality of care for their patients. They will also be eligible for incentive money from CMS - up to $44,000 for Medicare providers and up to $63,750 for Medicaid providers.
Here’s a quick look at the PA REACH West Dashboard to see where we currently stand with our recruitment efforts and assistance to providers working toward the finish line for meaningful use.
