Meaningful Use Attestation 2012: Early Birds Take Flight

Colin Buckley, Strategic Operations Manager, KLAS, Orem, Utah. Meaningful use is one of the most focused-on initiatives currently in American healthcare. As of November 2011, 833 (or roughly 14%) of U.S. hospitals have attested to meeting Stage 1 requirements, with many more lining up to follow. CMS data shows that both large and small hospital vendors found success in the first year of MU attestation. In this presentation Colin shares insights from successfully attesting providers about how prepared their vendor was to attest, which vendors have weathered a few storms, why some vendors are ahead and others are behind, and how confident providers are in their vendor for meeting Stages 1-2.
