President Obama’s First Weekly Address- January 24th, 2009 “To lower health care cost, cut medical errors, and improve care, we’ll computerize the nation’s health records in five years, saving billions of dollars in health care costs and countless lives.”
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Health Initiatives: To incentivize the ‘Meaningful Use’ of certified EHR technology
Meaningful Use of Certified EHR Technology • EHR • Electronic Health Record • Certified • Tested and Certified in accordance with the HHS Certification Program • Meaningful Use (MU) • Demonstrate the use of IT in the practice of medicine to: • Enhance Quality • Improve Patient Safety • Decrease Costs • Demonstrate Improved Outcomes
Transformational Change in Health Care Delivery & Population Health Envisioning a “Tipping Point” -- Health IT as an Enabler Technology Adoption Time
Meaningful Use is Being DefinedTo Follow an “Ascension Path” Over Time* 2011 2013 2015 2009 HIT-Enabled Health Reform 2009 MU Criteria HITECH Policies 2011 MU Criteria Capture & Share Data 2013 MU Criteria Clinical Decision Support 2015 MU Criteria Improved Outcomes *Report of Health IT Policy Committee
