Information from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

Health information technology has the potential to improve health care quality, increase the efficiency of the care delivery system, reduce health disparities, and further engage patients and families in their health care. Realizing the full benefits of an electronic health record requires use in a meaningful way. As you are all well aware, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 gave authority to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) to provide incentives for providers who become meaningful users of certified electronic health records. 

  • For an overview of the Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Electronic Health Record Incentive Program Final Rule please go to http://www.ofr.gov/inspection.aspx#spec_C
  • The Final Rule for Initial Set of Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification Criteria for Electronic Health Record Technology has also been posted and can be found at http://www.ofr.gov/inspection.aspx#spec_H
