Take Advantage of this Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity
The HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act of the 2009 “Stimulus” law provides financial incentives to physicians who adopt and demonstrate “Meaningful Use” of certified Electronic Health Record technology. This represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where the government will subsidize a physician’s technology investment.
In order to receive these incentives, physicians must meet a set of government requirements, known as “Meaningful Use.” This means that understanding the criteria and process is critical, as is selecting the right technology partner.
TeamPraxis – with our products, services and educational efforts – is that partner.
