What Does it Take to Qualify for the EHR Stimulus Funds?

That’s the title of a blog post from Software Advice’s Medical Blog that contains a 60 minute webinar video explaining the details about how the stimulus funding will be allocated to physicians who adopt EHRs and the timeframes to do so.

Justin Barnes, chairman of the HIMSS Electronic Health Record Association and vice president of Greenway Medical Technologies, answers many questions about this program such as:

How the stimulus money will be paid out
What it takes to qualify for funding
Which specialities qualify for funding
How “meaningful us” is defined
What constitutes a “qualified EHR”

Meaningful use begines January 1, 2011 and practices should be starting their EHR adoption now. This webinar is a comprehensive look at this program and is a must see for anyone involved with the process within their healthcare practice.
