You’re ready to buy an EMR. But how do you know which one is right for your practice?

Smart EMR Selection

To qualify for federal EHR incentive payments, medical practices must prove they are meaningful users of an EHR. The stimulus legislation has outlined four broad components of meaningful use, which are: use of a certified system; incorporation of e-prescribing; reporting quality measures electronically; and the exchange of patient data electronically.

The draft criteria released in December by CMS and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology further define meaningful use.

In this podcast, Robert Tennant, senior policy advisor for the Medical Group Management Association, explains the meaningful use draft criteria, which the MGMA has called “overly complex.”

CMS’ 2010 final physician fee schedule included several changes that could affect your practice.

Nicoletti is owner of Medical Practice Consulting in Springfield, Vt., and founder of Codapedia.com, a Web site dedicated to user-generated reimbursement information for medical practices. She is also the author of “The Field Guide to Physician Coding.”
