Through Health IT Stimulus Funds, up to $45B of direct adoption incentives are available for “meaningful use” of certified Electronic Health Records (EHRs).
Conservative CBO estimates show that ARRA funding will save over $15B in government spending throughout the health sector through improved quality and care coordination, reductions in medical errors and duplicative care. “Meaningful Use” begins as early as Oct. 2010 for hospitals and Jan. 2011 for eligible professionals (2010 for Medicaid EPs). It takes time to properly deploy and implement an EHR so experts suggest you “get your place in line now”.
Register to meet Justin Barnes, EHR Association Chairman and Vice President of Greenway Medical Technologies, Government Affairs Department as he focuses on:
- What the Economic Stimulus Means for Hospitals & Physicians –
- How to Optimize the Opportunity
- Key interpretations of the HITECH Act - with emphasis on meaningful use and certified solutions
- Overall EHR Adoption, and financial and operational incentives
- What to look for in an EHR
Mr. Barnes has formally addressed and/ or testified before Congress as well as both Presidential Administrations on twelve occasions between 2005 and 2009 with statements relating to EHR meaningful use, EHR certification, healthcare privacy, security, confidentiality, compliance, standards, interoperability, health IT adoption incentives, health IT return on investment (ROI) and the globalization of healthcare.
