“A recent survey of C-level executives from 168 provider organizations, mostly hospitals, shows only a third of respondents expect to meet the first deadline for receiving Medicare/Medicaid incentive payments for meaningful use of electronic health records.
The survey also shows nearly half of respondents expect the meaningful use deadlines to be extended. Beacon Partners, a Weymouth, Mass.-based consulting firm, commissioned the survey. Aloft Group, an independent market research firm in Newburyport, Mass., conducted the survey.”
