Keep Up-to-Date on ARRA

On July 13, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the final rules for meaningful use and certification standards of electronic health record (EHR) systems under the HITECH provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The rules establish the requirements for eligible hospitals and providers to qualify for Medicare and Medicaid incentives for meaningful use of certified EHRs.

How McKesson is Supporting Stimulus

From cities across America to the halls of Washington, McKesson has built working relationships with elected and appointed officials at every level of government. We were one of the first healthcare information technology (HIT) companies to engage in the HIT and electronic health record (EHR) discussion and provide recommendations for HIT spending.

Since that journey has been focused on creating an EHR, they have leveraged a successful governance structure and hard-won cultural improvements, including aligning physicians with quality goals.
