The Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs provide a financial incentive for the "meaningful use" of certified EHR technology to achieve health and efficiency goals. By putting into action and meaningfully using an EHR system, providers will reap benefits beyond financial incentives–such as reduction in errors, availability of records and data, reminders and alerts, clinical decision support, and e-prescribing/refill automation. HAB has coordinated with CMS and CDC regarding HIV measures to ensure wide adoption and use and to identify gaps within the set of endorsed performance measures. In addition to the measures proposed for Stage 2 of Meaningful Use, HAB has submitted performance measures through the NQF endorsement process in order to prepare for Stage 3 of Meaningful Use.
