Meaningful Use Uncertainty Is Gone—Which Path Will Physicians Choose Now?
(excerpted from EMR Straight Talk, 7/15/10)
The publication of the anxiously awaited final rule on meaningful use was just announced. Uncertainty has been removed from the market, and the most common excuse for inaction is now gone. The government’s intentions are crystal clear, and physicians know exactly what will be required if they want to pursue the EHR incentives. Physicians who want to become digital and reap the extensive benefits of a paperless office must now make a choice—pursue the productivity path or follow the meaningful use path.
The waiting is over. It’s time for physicians to choose their EMR path.
