Will your EHR meet meaningful use? Majority of providers say “Yes”

A new report from KLAS indicates that 85% of providers believe their electronic health record (EHR) will help them qualify for federal “meaningful use” standards.

For the report, KLAS interviewed more than 1,400 health care providers about their experiences with EHR products from 26 vendors. The survey asked the providers whether they thought their EHRs would meet the preliminary meaningful use recommendations issued by the Health IT Policy Committee in July (Monegain, Healthcare IT News, 1/6).

The survey found that health care providers using athenahealth, Epic and NextGen EHR products had the highest confidence that their systems would meet the meaningful use requirements.
