Intelerad - Meaningful Use

Intelerad - Meaningful Use Electronic health records and health information exchange can help clinicians provide higher quality and safer care for their patients. By adopting electronic health records in a meaningful way, clinicians can:

  • Know more about their patients. Information in electronic health records can be used to coordinate and improve the quality of patient care.
  • Make better decisions. With more comprehensive information readily and securely available, clinicians will have the information they need about treatments and conditions - even best practices for patient populations -when making treatment decisions.
  • Save money. Electronic health records require an initial investment of time and money. But clinicians who have implemented them have reported reductions in the amount of time spent locating paper files, transcribing and spending time on the phone with labs or pharmacies; more accurate coding; and reductions in reporting burden.

MEDICARE AND MEDICAID EHR INCENTIVE PROGRAMS

Through the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is providing incentive payments to eligible health care professionals and hospitals who adopt certified EHR technology and achieve meaningful use.

“ Based off our research we find that radiologists are needing more education around Meaningful Use. Most often those radiologists who are actively making decisions for the group / practice were insecure about their knowledge base around Meaningful Use. We will publish more specific information in our upcoming report: Radiologists' Take on Meaningful Use – a KLAS – RSNA Report.”
