Meaningful Use – Compliance and incentives eligibility

Internalizing the standards of Meaningful Use will eventually lead to positive ROI through simple cost reduction. The US Government has added to this formula both a carrot and a stick. Those who are in compliance by October 1, 2011 get financial rewards. These rewards rapidly dwindle until 2015, where penalties for non-compliance kick in. To qualify for incentives, hospitals or independent providers must prove that they have been using an ONC-Certified EHR system in a meaningful way for a minimum period of time.
