What if I’ve already purchased and implemented my EHR system, can I still qualify for the HITECH stimulus incentives?
Absolutely. In fact, you may be in the perfect position to qualify as you can focus your practice on establishing meaningful EHR usage. You can still qualify for $44,000 per doctor by ensuring that your EHR is “qualified” and that your doctors and staff are trained in using the EHR system in a manner that complies with the meaningful use criteria. In addition, you can dedicate your time and resources to configuring your office and exam rooms with the right connected devices to deliver the true value of EHR connectivity: increased accuracy/patient safety, enhanced clinical efficacy, improved workflow efficiency and significant time savings. Look to Welch Allyn and our industry leading connected devices to help maximize the benefits of your EHR system.
