Meaningful Use (MU) defines
the use of certified Electronic health record (EHR) to improve quality care, reduce
health disparities, and achieve better clinical outcomes within a healthcare organization. After the implementation of
meaningful use, significant changes are done to transform a better healthcare
system and following major changes will be seen:
1. Developed Quality, Safety, and Efficiency
Physicians, after adopting electronic health records in a meaningful way, may have been awarded from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. More than 55,000 physicians received bonuses for meaningful use of EHRs in 2011 or 2012. Doctors or hospitals found ineligible for an EHR incentive after an audit would be asked to return the bonus payment.
Adoption of meaningful use program is now a fundamental requirement for the physicians, since two and half years is the rough time span left to implement Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems without facing any financial penalties. Practices should take serious notice on these deadlines and physicians need to focus all the essential elements necessary to meet the criteria of Meaningful Use (MU) bonuses.
For the ongoing success of EHR Incentive Programs, many billing companies have designed webinars and profound coaches that will walk physicians through solutions surrounding EHR issues and MU criteria. Each webinar with its training is interactive and featured. Identifying the key elements to achieve MU bonuses is the core objective. It will also provide an overview of related initiatives, incentives and penalties and how they will impact physician practices.
