Abstract:
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was enacted on February 17, 2009. The Recovery Act includes many measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure and improve affordable health care. Expanded use of health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health record (EHR) technology will improve the quality and value of America's health care. Title IV of Division B of the Recovery Act amends Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act) by establishing incentive payments to eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs), and Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs that adopt and successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology. These Recovery Act provisions, together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be cited as the “Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act” or the “HITECH Act.”. We are collecting information from participants in the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs in order to collect data regarding the objectives and measures reported on by eligible entities. We are proposing a new scoring system in the 2019 inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) proposed rule. We are proposing a new scoring system for Stage 3 of meaningful use for Medicare eligible hospitals and CAH with new measures that can be optionally reported. We believe this new scoring system will reduce burden on providers as we are moving from an approach where they need to report on all measures to one where they choose which measures are more applicable to their particular service.
