, MEDITECH’s collaborative vendor for certified Meaningful Use reporting, concurrent review and infection surveillance, today announced the release of its 2014 Stage 1 and Stage 2 Meaningful Use reporting solution at the 2013 International MUSE Conference. IHM’s new Meaningful Use solution is the latest addition to the company’s proven Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) suite designed to transform healthcare data into actionable, reliable clinical information.
IHM’s new Meaningful Use solution will provide hospitals with a Drummond-certified report that combines retrospective data with daily information on patients while they are still in the hospital. This information is critical in helping hospitals go beyond Meaningful Use and regulatory requirements to improve processes, care and outcomes.
Additional benefits of IHM’s 2014 Meaningful Use solution for Stage 1 and Stage 2 include:
“Along with numerous reporting and data validation challenges, Meaningful Use represents a major shift for hospital operations as quality of care is linked to financial performance,” said Dr. Anita Karcz, Chief Medical Officer for IHM Services. “Many hospitals that handle reporting for Meaningful Use on their own have found it to be very resource intensive. Our new Meaningful Use solution removes that burden from hospital IT departments and provides timely and relevant data to support quality of care.”
