The truth about the EMR incentives.

Hello everyone!
Do you want clarification of the pertinent information included in the ARRA ---
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act?

Or simple information on how this relates to your medical practices?
Many of you want to know:
Has the bill actually been passed into law?
Who qualifies?
How do you qualify?
Which program do you qualify for?
What are the incentive amounts?
How and when do they pay out?

…And probably most importantly, when should you get started?

I’ll begin to answer those concerns and more through a new series of posts.
Let’s start with a series of questions and answers, first.
Why do we need this bill?
It has been estimated that as much as $131 Billion can be saved annually in the United States by universal implementation of EMRs.
The need for rapid response in the fight against all infectious diseases like polio, tuberculosis and malaria also triggered action by our government.
Monitoring Continuity of Care will identify and measure diseases with positive treatment outcomes like asthma, diabetes, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer and prostate cancer.
FYI It has been estimated that as much as 30% of laboratory studies are repeated needlessly, because the requesting physician was unaware that the result already existed.

We'll cover more on this next week, until then have a great holiday and be safe.
