Meaning Use EMR, Stage 1





"Meaningful use of emr" is an important condition to avail the benefits of incentive program or the stimulus package announced by US government. Meaningful use emr sets responsibility on the part of healthcare professionals as regards its usability. Truly speaking, without meaningful use of emr system, a practice can not derive the ultimate benefits of the system. The long term benefits would come if and only if the system is used with the motive of its "meaningful use". 

The meaningful use emr program is divided into three stages, each defining different standards of the "meaningful use" of an EMR system and making different rules. As far as the stage 1 is concerned the applicants must fulfill twenty out of twenty-five objectives in order to qualify for incentives. Meaningful Use Stage 1 began in 2011 and will likely run through 2012.
