  1. How to qualify for Meaningful Use Grants: Medicare $44,000 Medicaid $64,750 Presenter: Vijay Ramanathan President & CEO, RamSoft ACR Imaging Informatics Summit Nov 3, 2011 www.ramsoft.com/www.readfromanywhere.com

  2. About RamSoft Founded in 1994 – over 16 years in the healthcare IT industry. Headquartered in Toronto, Canada with over 400+ clients in USA.

  3. Eligible non-Hospital Radiologists Radiologists who read non-hospital studies can exclude hospital studies. Must read >= 50% of studies using certified software. Must read for Medicare and/or Medicaid patients.

  4. Eligible Hospital-based Radiologists Radiologists who only read hospital studies. Must read >= 50% of studies using certified software. Must read >= 10% hospital out-patient studies.

  5. Approach to Meaningful Use • EHR for Meaningful Use should be embedded into software that meets the needs of Radiologists. • No extra clicks for radiologists • Radiologists can use grants to subsidize the acquisition of certified software that meets their clinical needs. • A stand-alone EHR may end up costing more than the value of grants received. • HL7 Interfaces • IT Costs • Data Entry Time

  6. Complete vs Modular Certification Modular Certified EHR only meets a subset portion of the requirements. Providers must assemble a complete system from multiple vendors to qualify for incentive payments. It is the radiologist’s responsibility to ensure EHR modules satisfies all requirements, so this approach is not recommended. Complete Certified EHR With a Complete Certified EHR, you only require one system to meet the Meaningful Use requirements.

  7. RamSoft’s efforts for Meaningful Use RamSoft PowerServer 5.1 is 2011/2012 compliant and was certified by an ONC-ATCB in accordance with the applicable certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
