A Primer on Meaningful Use Understanding the federal government’s EHR Incentive Program

The U.S. government is paying eligible health care professionals to automate their medical practices. The Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program  a product of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) passed in February 2009 earmarks several billion dollars for eligible professionals, as well as hospitals. The federal program seeks to promote the “meaningful use” of EHR systems that are certified by the government’s designated accreditation program. Adoption of these certified EHR systems, according to the government, is an important step in enhancing the quality, safety and value of health care in the United States.
