Meaningful Use
Meaningful Use – it’s the new buzz word that everyone involved in EHR technology is talking about. But what is it, and how do you achieve it? The short answer is that Meaningful Use (MU) is a means to an end in achieving an elevated standard in quality patient care through the adoption of an electronic health record (EHR).
The federal government developed the meaningful use (MU) rule to ensure that health care providers effectively use the tremendous capabilities that a certified EHR system can deliver. The government’s extensive list of criteria and testing related to MU may seem to be an overwhelming task, but the good news is that PA REACH is here to help.
PA REACH has assembled a team of experienced & knowledgeable professionals who will serve as trusted advisors to help your practice navigate through the sometimes confusing maze that is “Meaningful Use.” We have closely studied the final rule on MU and are ready to tackle it head on. Your PA REACH coordinator will see to it that your EHR system is functioning at its maximum level and can pass testing and data submission requirements.
By achieving the milestone of MU, your practice will not only be qualified for the incentive funds available from the Stimulus Act, but will also be providing your patients with a superior level of care.
Please visit the ONC’s Web site for more information on meaningful use and standards and certification.
