Meaningful Use
To qualify for federal EMR stimulus money as part of the EHR incentive program, the following requirements must be met to satisfy the "meaningful use" criteria.
- Medicare: Qualify if you demonstrate meaningful use with an EHR system from a certified EHR provider every year.
- Medicaid: For the first year, you qualify if you have installed, began using, upgraded to a certified EHR system, or demonstrate meaningful use in the first year. Meaningful use must be demonstrated for subsequent years.
