The national health policy has provided incentives to professionals, health institutions and hospitals to incorporate technology in order to improve efficiency. The regulations and criteria have been provided by responsible authorities. Officials at the national level are monitoring compliance with regulations set under the meaningful use certified ehr initiative. It aims at achieving efficiency in health information sharing and storage.
The program began with a trail temporary program for target parties. It aimed at testing compliance and helping in capacity building as institutions and individuals prepared for permanent status. Enjoyment of incentives with a temporary certificate can only be approved if proof is provided that the systems were operation over the period of claim. There is a set threshold for such evidence.
The temporary program is gradually being phased out and replaced by a permanent one that will be improved over time. An evaluation period is provided so that interested candidates can meet their targets on continuing basis. The authorities concerned release regular updates for consumption by the public and interested parties. This information is available in the public domain.
The national authority has released tools, tests, requirements and cases to be used when evaluating conformity. These rules are developed by the national institute responsible for technology and standardization. They inform an individual or institution of the level of conformity to required standards.
The technology must be meaningfully utilized to qualify a health facility or individual to receive the benefits offered under the initiative. The threshold set by standardization institute must be met. The details include information sharing about patients and offering a care summary record whenever it is needed.
Critical access hospitals, professionals and health facilities are required to fulfill different criteria. It is the area of specialization that determines the details required of each candidate. Institutions must facilitate professionals working within as they seek to meet their thresholds.
There are several stages towards meeting ehr requirements. Each of these stages demands unique participation and engagement. It takes 90 days of year one and a full second year to have the first stage completed. Any candidate must complete the first stage successfully before proceeding to the next.
The second phase takes two full years to allow authorities to check compliance and capacity for permanent certification. Individuals are vetted following the calendar year while hospitals follow the federal fiscal calendar. It is possible to find a certified individual working in an institution that is yet to be certified. The requirements for each entity are different.
Professionals have to fulfill 17 core objectives in order to have their status approved. Hospitals and critical access hospitals have to meet nineteen objectives, sixteen of which are core while three are chosen from a menu. Professionals also have a menu from where they select three more objectives to get a total of twenty.
All payments regarding ehr certification have to undergo federal reductions. These reductions are referred to as sequentration and currently stand at 2 percent. This is the same percentage used under medicare. April 2013 was the closing date for reporting using these percentages. Detailed regulations are available from the website of the authority.
