The Resource and Patient Management System Electronic Health Record [RPMS EHR] is a suite of software applications that moves a facility from a paper to Electronic Health Record technology for the purpose of meeting Meaningful Use [MU] to improve patient care. Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs provide a financial incentive for the “Meaningful Use” of certified EHR technology to achieve health and efficiency goals
The purpose of this intense hands-on course is to provide Health Information Management [HIM] professionals with an understanding of:
• Requirements and expectations of Meaningful Use as it applies to HIM roles and responsibilities.
• Policy, objectives, staff responsibilities, and standards relating to health record services as it pertains to electronic health information.
The “need” for this course was determined from [a] the need for an understanding of Meaningful Use and HIM reports, requirements, and maintenance [b] requests from sites and Area Health Information Management [HIM] Consultants [c] Area Clinical Application Coordinator [CAC] and HIM meetings and [d] Meaningful Use deployment plan.
