Final Ruling: Summary of Modifications to the EHR Incentive Program for 2014
On August 29, 2014, CMS released the Final Rule on modifications of the EHR Incentive Program for 2014. The rule allows health care providers more flexibility in how they use certified electronic health record (EHR) technology (CEHRT) to meet meaningful use for an EHR Incentive Program reporting period for 2014.
What are the key provisions of the rule? How does the ruling affect you? Mary Monasmith, RHIA, PCMH CCE, HIT and Quality Improvement Consultant for the Kansas Regional Extension Center and Synōvim Healthcare Solutions, Inc., will provide answers to these questions and more.
