THERE’s a TALE TO TELL

MU Journey – Began in 2009

Meaningful Use? Huh?

HITECH Act - The Focus (at least back in 2010)

“The HITECH Act program focuses on attaining

meaningful use of EHRs as a pathway toward improved

health system performance. The attainment of

meaningful use depends, in turn, on adoption of EHRs

and the development of secure and private pathways for

exchanging health information. Adoption and exchange

will be supported by a variety of HITECH Act initiatives.”

-- Dr. David Blumenthal, MD, National Coordinator
