“The Electronic Health Records Association (EHR Association) seeks broad stakeholder consensus by sharing its perspectives on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) as well as specific recommendations for the definition of “meaningful use” of certified EHRs, which will be used to determine eligibility for the over $36B in healthcare IT stimulus incentives for physicians and hospitals.
“I’ve been pleased to have the opportunities to speak and collaborate on behalf of the Association with healthcare executives and clinicians around the country on the ARRA term ‘meaningful use’ of certified EHRs,” said Justin Barnes, EHR Association Chairman. “I believe that our unique, collective experience as developers, implementers and providers of EHRs is being recognized as we strive to strike the right balance between practical application of these comprehensive EHR solutions and real results that support more effective, efficient care delivery.”
