The Roadmap for Achieving Meaningful Use of Certified EHR Technology for Medical Practices

Jan. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- The Incentive Roadmap®, The Meaningful Use of Certified Technology: Stage 1 is helping medical groups and organizations across the country understand the process of meeting the CMS requirements to receive EHR incentives under the HITECH Act. Version 2.0 of this e-manual has been released.

When asked about the differences in the newly released version, author Jim Tate of EMR Advocate said “The recent clarifications and guidance by the ONC and CMS have brought increased clarity to the CMS EHR Incentive programs. For example, many of the concerns expressed by specialists have been resolved as well as a deeper look at meaningful use objectives exclusions." Mr. Tate also added that "Since the registration for the program is now in full swing, it was necessary to outline the exact details of the exclusion process as well as expand on other chapters in the manual dealing with implementation.”

The Incentive Roadmap® is tailored for the medical practice looking to gain a complete understanding of the core requirements to become a ‘meaningful user’ and receive the coming CMS EHR incentives. It is available for purchase and sold exclusively through HITECH Answers, a leading provider of EHR resources. Visit http://www.hitechanswers.net for more information.
