Meaningful Use – 2014 and Beyond Session: 1031 Presenters: Heather Stocker Organization: Centura Health, Englewood, Colorado
Scheduled: Thursday May 29 at 10:00 am C/S
Abstract: Meaningful Use, and its achievement, has evolved significantly since its inception in the 2009 HITECH Act and even since its initial conception born before that. Achieving Meaningful Use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has become a paramount goal for both the majority of healthcare organizations and eligible professionals over the past five years. With the release of Stage 2 Meaningful Use requirements and pending Stage 3 and beyond proposals the topic is not one that clinicians or administrators alike can afford to disregard. This presentation will highlight not only the finalized Stage 2 requirements but also proposed modifications and implications that will be important to know for those attempting their attainment.
