Facility to Any Clinician as Part of the Patient’s Health Record• Pharmacy and Nursing Staff must collaborate closely with
Information Technology Staff if the Medication Administration Arm of the System is to Work Optimally
Meaningful Use Criteria
• Meaningful Use Stage 2 Criteria for Eligible Hospitals (EHs), and Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs):– Objective: Automatically track medications from order
to administration using assistive technologies in conjunction with an electronic medication administration record (eMAR).
– Measure: More than 10% of medication orders created by authorized providers of the EH or CAHs inpatient or emergency department during the EHR reporting period for which all doses are tracked using eMAR.
