HI-TECH and EMR Certification
Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act has provided incentives to doctors for adopting technology that makes sharing of health records easier. Ultimately, this standardization of health records through technology is aimed at reducing the cost of health care in America. Although incentives can reach up to $64,000 per year per physician, it is important that you find the right software, meaningfully use your EMR system, and properly certify your usage.
As your partner, DuPage Attorney will help you protect your dollars through:
1) proper contract protection with your EMR provider,
2) operationalization of HITECH once you have purchase and EMR system, and
3) certification of your compliance with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid
We will ensure that you receive your incentive by assisting in the operationalization of HITECH in your practice.
