Meaningful Use Attestation

Did you know that February 29, 2012 is the last day for you to register and attest for the Medicare Meaningful Use incentives for calendar year 2011?

In light of this timeline, the 90-Day view with data from October 2011 through December 2011 will remain the same until the end of March 2012. After March 29, 2012, the 90-Day view will be updated with data from January 2012 through March 2012. This updated data will allow you to attest for the Incentive program in calendar year 2012.

Patient Education Measure Update
To ensure Meaningful Use tracking and compliance, eCW has removed the option to e-mail articles to patients via the A.D.A.M. ® Patient Education interface. You still have the ability to print selected articles and to share them with your patients electronically using the Patient Portal.

For details on how to print or publish educational materials, please see the eClinicalWorks Patient Education Users Guide, available on my.eclinicalworks.com
