Colorado Meaningful Use Consulting

Helping Your Healthcare Organization Leverage EHR Technology to Better Serve Your Patients and Receive Financial Incentives

Information technology plays a key role in the operations of any healthcare organization. It’s not just about staying compliant to HIPAA and HITECH: it’s about truly leveraging your technology to better serve your patients.

The United States government has deemed this use of electronic healthcare record (EHR) technology so important, that they have implemented the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs.

• Healthcare organizations that can demonstrate “Meaningful Use” of EHR technology will receive financial incentives as a reward. This means you not only improve how you serve your clients and access your own information, but you’ll also receive some lucrative incentives.
• If your healthcare organization fails to demonstrate Meaningful Use by 2015, you will face penalties and possible fines.

Meaningful Use can be somewhat vague and hard to grasp for a busy healthcare provider who doesn’t have time to do all the necessary research. When you need to stay focused on providing the best care possible for your patients, you need to place your trust in an IT support provider who can help.
