Meaningful Use? Huh?
HITECH Act - The Focus (at least back in 2010) “The HITECH Act program focuses on attaining meaningful use of EHRs as a pathway toward improved health system performance. The attainment of meaningful use depends, in turn, on adoption of EHRs and the development of secure and private pathways for exchanging health information. Adoption and exchange will be supported by a variety of HITECH Act initiatives.” -- Dr. David Blumenthal, MD, National Coordinator
