“A survey of hospital CIOs indicates that hospitals are not moving as rapidly as expected to achieve Meaningful Use of electronic health records. But the executives’ confidence level that their facilities will reach that goal has risen since a similar poll conducted last March.
In the September survey by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), 26% of the responding CIOs said their institutions qualified for Meaningful Use.
