Question

Moses is a senior in the baccalaureate program at Mission University. He is completing his practicum experience at St. Joe's Medical Center, which partners with several local physician practices. Many of the practices have not transitioned to EHRs. As a capstone assignment, the HIM director asks Moses to research, using the Internet and other resources, information that would help St. Joe's transition their physician partners to an electronic environment.

Moses found an article on the HITECH Act in the Journal of American Health Information Management Association. What information do the physicians need to know about HITECH as it relates to transitioning to an electronic system?

Moses was shocked to see how much federal funding had been allocated to support providers in their transition to EHRs. How much money was spent and what could it be used for?

Why is it important for Moses to include information on interoperability and Meaningful Use in his report?
