Update - Final Regulations Released!

07/13/2010 - Today, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the finalized regulations regarding electronic health record (EHR) incentives, as called for in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.  This program, also known as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), provides significant incentives for physicians who achieve federally-defined performance standards with certified EHR technology.  The new regulations total nearly 1000 pages and can be found at http://www.cms.gov/EHRIncentivePrograms.
 
Early indications are that some of the initially-proposed measures and guidelines have been relaxed and the AllMeds team is analyzing the full contents of HHS’ rules and criteria.  However, work already underway by our development team means AllMeds’ EHR is in a strategically well-placed position for testing and certification.  While the key question is the difference that exists between earlier proposed regulations and those released today, AllMeds is fully confident that our EHR will achieve certification soon after testing begins in the late summer or early fall.
