CMS Launches Official Website for EHR Incentive Programs
June 21, 2010
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has launched the official website for the Medicare & Medicaid electronic health record incentive programs. These programs, established as a result of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, will provide incentive payments to eligible professionals and hospitals who adopt, implement, upgrade or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology.
The CMS incentive program will involve a set of rules that determine whether hospitals are paid for their EHR use. CMS is currently developing the final rules for release.
Visit the CMS EHR incentive program website to learn more about program eligibility, how to register, meaningful use and EHR training events.
