Meaningful Use
Under American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, health care providers that demonstrate Meaningful Use of Electronic Health Information Technology are eligible for financial incentives. To qualify, clinicians must use Electronic Medical Record Systems to improve the quality of patient care, operational efficiency, and chronic disease management. CCHN in collaboration with Colorado Community Managed Care Network (CCMCN) provides Colorado’s CHCs with technical assistance to meet and exceed Meaningful Use standards.
