Only hospitals that have received Medicare incentive payments for meaningful use of electronic health records between Jan. 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012 have been asked to complete the survey.
OIG will allow health systems to complete a single survey for all facilities if the responses would be the same for each entity in the system. Health systems that choose to submit a single response for all their facilities should contact Kim Yates at kim.yates@oig.hhs.gov prior to completing the survey to ensure that OIG properly accounts for their system-level response. AHA urges hospitals that respond to the OIG survey to email a copy of their responses to the association at oigsurvey@aha.org.
