EHR and meaningful use:
Adopting Electronic health records can be a smart move in moving towards your stimulus incentive package. But are you sure you would get eligible for the incentive package?
When not channelized properly, the same can turn out to be disastrous hazard to your practice. Enough sound has been made on the benefits of EHRs through various sources. Physicians though have come to a stage to accept EHR as a lifesaver; they are yet not clear with the supplementary works that they need to undertake in order to harvest the complete benefit out of the technology.
Bottlenecks faced by practices:
As hospitals and physicians get ready to meet the necessities of meaningful use, they are able to understand that they are in a pressing necessitate of lithe clinical integration solutions to facilitate them to connect in-congruent systems and swap health information electronically.
Added to the pressure is the alarming time limit for Stage 1 and trimming their budgets to put into operation new healthcare technology.
What’s the pressure?
Stage 1 for the meaningful use can be easier where providers are expected to exhibit three months of usage whereas in Stage 2 demands a full year of operational use. Creating connectivity and interoperability with other providers’ systems and subsidiary services is an extremely difficult task – above all doing it in time to make the grade for Stage 1 and Stage 2 incentives.
Regrettably, those hospitals without an EHR have to accept the veracity that it’s extremely tough to qualify for Stage 1 incentives even if they sign for an EHR today. The traditional EHR implementation time can take to a maximum of one year. This along with the 90 days of meaningful use required by Federal law, and hospitals will be cropping it too close or can even miss the closing date to qualify for Stage 1 incentives.
More than a few hospitals with existing EHR solutions have organizational and coordination gaps that hamper their capability to meet the values for clinical integration. Check if your vendor is held up with huge demands for meaningful use.
