Certainly, provider organizations have plenty of concerns when it comes to attesting to meaningful use, which is vital to their immediate and long-term success. According to one industry expert, a failure to look ahead is at the top of the problem list.
Attesting to meaningful use (MU) Stages 1 and 2 is no small feat, but is vital nonetheless to a healthcare organization’s immediate and long-term success. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act is rapidly transforming how people access their records and make decisions that directly affect their care, putting more control into the patients’ hands. As such, every healthcare provider faces different challenges in meeting meaningful use of an electronic health record (EHR), whether it’s attesting to Stage 1 or Stage 2.
