Epic can help.
The HITECH portion of the ARRA stimulus package allocates funding for per-hospital and per-physician incentives for those who demonstrate "Meaningful Use" of EHRs. Epic can help you understand the criteria in each stage of the program as they are developed and formalized. We can also provide the software and processes to help you maximize the long-term beneficial effects of stimulus initiatives on your organization.

• Install quickly - with a robust pre-built model that simplifies implementation and configures easily to your situation.
• Let patients do more - via online results and health reminders. Self service refills, scheduling and bill pay make patients happy while saving you money.
• Be more profitable - with permanent improvements to physician productivity and a central source for enterprise intelligence.
