Are You Ready For Electronic Health Records (EHR)?

Oct. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- The Obama Administration has announced the availability of over 20 billion dollars to Healthcare Providers through the American Recovering and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for implementing certified EHR solutions. EHR Incentive payments will be made through the Medicare and Medicaid programs for those providers who can demonstrate meaningful use.

Grant Stevens LLC is announcing the addition of its newest practice area providing consulting and professional services to local healthcare providers in assessing, planning, selecting, implementing and optimizing Electronic Health Record Systems.  When asked, Christopher Grant, President and CEO of Grant Stevens, said, “Its a natural extension to the current portfolio of quality services we have been providing to our clients for the last three years. As a small business who is committed to creating new jobs in the Chicago area, we have been planning this new practice for the last six months and are confident that we will be able to provide a quality service at a reasonable price to those healthcare providers who don’t have the resources or time to commit to such a project” Providers who fail to implement certified EHR solutions and demonstrate meaningful use by 2015 could see a reduction in Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements.    

“The incentive payments will help healthcare providers offset the costs for professional services, software and hardware. Healthcare providers could get as much as $64,000 through Medicaid distributed over the next six years or $44,000 through Medicare distributed over the next five years per provider.  The result of implementing certified EHR solutions and demonstrating meaningful use, will be improvements in the quality, safety and efficiency of patient health care”, says Grant.
