Incorporating Meaningful Use in the Specialty Practice
This archived webinar CME activity provides education to non-primary care providers about eligibility for the CMS EHR Incentive program as part of the ARRA HITECH act, and to show them how to incorporate the objectives of Meaningful Use into the daily practice workflow. Topics include a description of how to leverage the rules regarding the exclusion criteria, and how to manage the reporting features of your EHR to ensure you are in compliance with requirements of Meaningful Use. In addition, the goals and benefits of Clinical Quality Measurement, and how to best prepare for the future stages of Meaningful Use, and other clinical and quality improvement initiatives are discussed.
This CME activity is based on a live webinar held on April 10, 2012.
