Are you ready to grab your meaningful use dollars?

A recent survey of members of the College of Health Information Executives reported that fewer CIOs are expecting to be qualified for meaningful use dollars by April of 2011 (http://www.ihealthbeat.org/articles/2010/12/9/cios-lower-expectations-for-early-meaningful-use-compliance.aspx). Having an EMR that is capable of screening for drug interactions, allergy issues, duplicate therapy and dosage range checking are key elements in meeting the meaningful use criteria. Now is the time to make sure your clinical decision support systems are powered by the best available data.
