Qualifying for the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Financial Incentive program requires demonstrating “Meaningful Use.”
However, many healthcare organizations are struggling to understand Meaningful Use and the myriad of other quality measurements, reporting, and financial implications created by the HIPAA / HITECH Act.
Meaningful Use requires Hospitals and Eligible Professionals to:
“Conduct or review a security risk analysis in accordance with the requirements under 45 CFR 164.308(a)(1) and implement security updates as necessary and correct identified security deficiencies as part of its risk management process.”
