Clinics
You need to understand how ready your clinic is to meet the January 30, 2012, meaningful use deadline—thousands of dollars of federal incentive payments are riding on it. The process of selecting, implementing, and achieving meaningful use of an electronic health record (EHR) system takes a year—when done efficiently.
Where are you on the path to demonstrating meaningful use—the federal and state requirements for EHR functionality, reporting, and connectivity?
Unsure. If you have an EHR and are unsure where you stand with meaningful use, REACH can conduct an assessment of your clinic to determine how ready it is to meet meaningful use criteria.
Great system needs optimization. Your clinic might have
a great system in place and
you only need to turn on or tweak certain functionality to fully benefit
you
and meet federal meaningful use requirements. With our understanding of EHR
systems and clinical practices, REACH can take your practice to
meaningful use.
Dissatisfied with current EHR. Your EHR might not be meeting your expectations for any number of reasons. You may have a dead end product that is no longer being upgraded. Your EHR might have been implemented without fully evaluating workflows prior to implementation. Whatever the reason, you need an EHR that works for your clinic. REACH can help identify what is limiting your ability to get your money’s worth out of your system. We can help you determine if you want to build an EHR in parallel with your current practice management system or start with a new integrated system.
No EHR. EHRs help improve patient safety and quality of care. They help contain a clinic’s costs and an optimized system—one that’s set up and tuned to maximize your practice clinically, operationally, and technically—will make you eligible to receive Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments.
