Meaningful Use Now Defined

 

On July 13, 2010, Meaningful Use was defined, the Final Rule for Initial Set of Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification Criteria for Electronic Health Record Technology has been posted. You can view the condensed NEJM article by Dr. David Blumenthal or view the full report.

Wide River Technology Extension Center (TEC) hosted a Meaningful Use webinar on July 23, 2010. The presentation is now able to view; click here to download the video or to view the handouts click here.  

Wide River TEC was formed out of a federal grant aimed to assist healthcare providers in adopting electronic health records (EHRs) and achieve the Meaningful Use of EHRs.  Our goal is to get you to Meaningful Use as soon as possible so that you receive all available incentive funds and benefit from the quality and safety improvements of your EHR.  

The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) created Regional Extension Centers (RECs), which are tasked with helping physicians in their area adopt EHR systems and qualify for the financial incentives that come with achieving Meaningful Use standards. As a Nebraska provider, partnering with Wide River TEC provides you tools, services and guidance as you work to achieve Meaningful Use.

Are you eligible for HIT incentive payment or reimbursement?  Are you interested in learning more about Wide River TEC?  We can help you answer these questions.   For more information on how Wide River TEC can drive your successful EHR adoption, learn about our Services at Why Work With Us .
