The release of the “meaningful use” and “standards and certification” regulations in essence marks the official start of the federal government's major ‘push’ to launch wide adoption of EHRs. The regulations set timetables, objectives and measures for implementation.
The race is on since the Medicare EHR incentive payments are set to begin in May 2011.
Senior management, medical staff and physician organization leadership is vital to a hospital’s success in achieving meaningful use of its technologies to meet the requirements of the new rules.
Meaningful Use Final Rules for the ‘C’ Suite, Senior Management, Medical Staff And Physician Organization Leadership, Administrators and Department Heads, held on August 17, 2010, was a special management education program tailored for hospital, medical staff and physician organization senior managers and department heads.
Your organization’s readiness is essential to support its patient care strategy and implement HIT. That’s why it is critical for senior management and leadership to understand the new regulations and what is necessary to achieve their adoption.
While the new regulations affect healthcare professionals responsible for IT and health information management, there are important governance issues that focus on IT project management planning making ‘C’ Suite support of IT the absolute key to your organization’s success in implementing the meaningful use regulations and adoption of EHRs.
