NRHA presents webinar on meaningful use stage 2 compliance

Recently, CMS published the final rule for stage 2 of the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs. 

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius had this to say: “The changes we’re announcing will lead to more coordination of patient care, reduced medical errors, elimination of duplicate screenings and tests and greater patient engagement in their own care.”

The rule provides new criteria that eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals must meet in order to successfully participate in the EHR incentive programs. 

NRHA is hosting an exclusive webinar to help our members in understanding the content of the stage 2 meaningful use requirements and what impact those will have on your ability to comply. 

CMS expert Rob Anthony will lead the conversation from 3-4 p.m. ET Sept. 6. For more information on the free webinar, and to register, click here.

Learn more about CMS stage 2 with this fact sheet and during NRHA’s Rural Health Clinic (Sept. 25-26) and Critical Access Hospital (Sept. 26-28) Conferences in Kansas City. Register here today.
