Meaningful Use

Tweet

 

The medical community and regulatory agencies have established clinical reporting standards that are now well defined and adding significant new demands for healthcare providers.

Compelling examples of this new environment include initiatives by The Joint
Commission (TJC) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Both are predicated on reporting clinical data for projects such as the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) and the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) which are tied to reimbursement updates and accreditation requirements.

Even more clearly, the accelerating rate of change in healthcare can be seen in the trend to capture a series of discrete data throughout the continuum of care by the rapidly emerging Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) and CMS Meaningful Use Standards (MU) for Electronic Health Records (EHR) and modules, and the proposed payment criteria associated with these standards which have been implemented this year.

The emerging Meaningful Use (MU) Standards goals include:

» Improving quality, safety, and efficiency.
» Engaging patients.
» Improving coordination of care.
» Ensuring privacy and security of Protected Health Information (PHI).
» Improving population health and interact with public health programs.
