The Government has slated billions of dollars in stimulus money for physicians that can exhibit "meaningful use" of a certified EHR system within the next few years. Each provider in your practice can expect as much as $44,000.00 of stimulus money for purchasing an EHR and providing such "meaningful use". But, what does "meaningful use" mean? Well, we really don't know for sure, at this point. The Government is still in the process of figuring that out. What we do know if that you will need to be on an EHR system no later than 2014 to receive any of the stimulus money. And, the longer you wait, the less you will get. Going a step further, if you choose to not implement an EHR system in your practice, you will begin receiving a decrease in Medicare reimbursements.At Bradford-Scott Data Corporation, we offer an EHR system, Intergy by Sage, that we believe will meet all the requirements to qualify for the stimulus package.
