In broad terms, Meaningful Use means that your use of an EHR extends the life of your patients and improves the efficiency of the health care system. For specifics, we look to the definition released by the Federal Government in the last days of 2009. The definition will become final in March of this year, after input from public comment. The staff at PCIP is studying these regulations closely in preparation to help your practice reach Meaningful Use in the years ahead.
PCIP will be updating this site as more detials come out and visiting practices to discuss your specific needs. In addition, providers working with PCIP can attend one of three interactive seminars:
Wednesday, February 10th, 5-6 PM
Friday, Feb 12th, 12-1 PM
Monday, February 15th, 8-9 AM
