Certified EMR in a Meaningful Way




Certifed EMR ensures the end users that they are not investing their money on something that may not be helpful to them. Also, physicians shopping for an EMR don’t want to risk purchasing something that won’t meet the stimulus criteria.

The incentives can not be just claimed by using a certified emr, however, the certified EMR needs to be used in a "meaningful way".  According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), "meaningful use" is defined as using an EMR for the following objectives:

• Improving quality, safety, efficiency, care coordination, population and public health;

• Reducing health disparities;

• Engaging patients and their families; and,

• Ensuring adequate privacy and security protections for personal health information
