Issues and Challenges for Medicaid Eligible Providers: From AIU to Stage 1 Meaningful Use Clint Kuntz, CEO Fairfield Community Health Center

What is “Meaningful Use”? The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 specifies three main components of Meaningful Use: o The use of a certified EHR in a meaningful manner, such as e-prescribing. o The use of certified EHR technology for electronic exchange of health information to improve quality of health care. o The use of certified EHR technology to submit clinical quality and other measures. Simply put, "meaningful use" means providers need to show they're using certified EHR technology in ways that can be measured significantly in quality and in quantity.

Who is Eligible? An eligible professional, not hospital-based, with at least 30% of patient volume attributable to Medicaid A pediatrician, not hospital-based, with at least 20% of patient volume attributable to Medicaid o These physicians will be eligible for only 2/3 of the indicated payments Providers practicing predominantly in a FQHC or RHC with at least 30% of patient volume attributable to needy individuals* o *Needy individual receiving Medicaid receiving assistance under Title XXI (SCHIP) being furnished uncompensated care by the provider being charged a reduced rate based on ability to pay

How Do I Meet Meaningful Use Requirements?

They must successfully demonstrate meaningful use for subsequent participation years. o Adopted: Acquired and installed certified EHR technology.

(For example, provide staff training or data entry of patient demographic information into EHR.) o Upgraded: Expanded existing technology to meet certification requirements.
