EMB and the Economic Stimulus Package – Overview
With the introduction of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Section 4101 of Title IV, America’s leadership has taken a significant step towards reforming the healthcare industry. The ARRA initiates the steps needed to deploy standards and practices to insure the interoperability of different Electronic Health Record systems. As one of the industry leaders, EMB has long held the belief that interoperability is a key component to the enhancing the quality and safety of patient care, while also lowering the associated costs. At the same time, the ARRA introduces incentive payments that create a vehicle for reasonable adoption. Given the historic proportion of the ARRA it’s understandable that providers, wishing to understand the potential benefits and wishing to participate, are going to be seeking counsel on what to do.
In an effort to lay the groundwork towards understanding of the ARRA and how to participate, we have launched this site is designed to assist would be participants gain a firmer understanding of Section 4101 of Title IV , of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This site contains an outline of the current understanding of the ARRA including how it maps an incentive payment(s) schedule; what terms are used in act (including their definitions); and how CareRevolution is positioned to fulfill the requirements for participation.
Building upon this groundwork, participants will be able to leverage the potential grants and reimbursements needed to chose and ultimately implement a Qualified Electronic Health Record. Understanding the sine qua non of a Certified Electronic Health Record will not only insure monetary compensation for participating, it will also place the participants where they are able to provide quality and safe care for their patient populations.
