By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest Investigators publish new report on Electronic Medical Records. According to news reporting originating from Great Falls, Montana, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, “The concerns on patient safety and quality improvement in health care are increasing. There is growing use of technology in health care, particularly use of the electronic health record (EHR).”
Our news editors obtained a quote from the research, “As this occurs, the health care system is transforming. The federal government has become involved in EHR. implementation, encouraging improved health care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are implementing the Meaningful Use (MU) Incentive Program for Medicare- and Medicaid-eligible providers. As EHR implementation and MU Programs grow, it is important for the nurse practitioner (NP) to be aware of the MU Program.”
According to the news editors, the research concluded: “As NPs become engaged in using EHRs, MU will have an impact on changing health care systems and implications related to clinical practice and improved outcomes.”
