Hi Dr. Marcinko and all ME-P Readers

I hope you are doing well. I am hosting a poll about RECs on my blog at: http://www.softwareadvice.com/articles/medical/five-reasons-we-think-recs-are-reckless-1092310/#survey 

I’m hoping to get as many participants as possible to make this a meaningful survey. I’d really appreciate your help spreading the word to your ME-P membership.

Digital White e-Paper

The poll coincides with an article I wrote on “5 Reasons We Think Regional Extension Centers are RECkless.” I’m excited to see progress of HITECH Act initiatives, but I’m skeptical that throwing money at the problem will lead to efficient and successful adoption of EHRs.

Assessment

It would also be interesting to read any anecdotes you might have about Regional Extension Centers. Please let me know what you and your readers think:

VIDEO: Cool New HIT Gadget for Physicians?

3D Head-Tracking Interface

By Ann Miller; RN, MHA

[Executive-Director]

According to SoftwareAdvice.com, Apple is the hottest topic in the tech blogosphere these days. Even if you ignore all news of the “iSlate,” and the new tablet PC, dozens of rumors abound.

Head Tracking Technology

One interesting idea is a patent for 3-Dimensional head-tracking. Instead of using a mouse and keyboard, Mac users simply move their head or body to control an image on screen. Some think this technology would perfect for healthcare.

Video Presentation

Here’s a short video from Houston Neal to help you visualize the device:

Webinar on Doctors and the Economic Stimulus Package

An ME-P TV First

By Ann Miller; RN, MHA

[Executive-Director]

Recently, we caught up with Houston Neal – of Software Advice – who thought our ME-P readers would like to see their new podcast on eHR stimulus funds. In-as-much as they are still hearing from doctors who want to know how to take advantage of the stimulus, they’ve teamed up with the Chairman of HIMSS to help answer questions via webinar. The final clip is now live on the blog.

And the Question … Is?

After talking with hundreds of physician practices each month, their biggest question seems to be: “What does the economic stimulus package mean for me?”  

Of course, practices understand that up to $45 billion is allocated to provide incentive for physicians to adopt eHRs. However, many questions remain about how and when providers will receive stimulus funds.

ME-P TV

The podcast, with Justin Barnes Chairman of the HIMSS Electronic Health Record Association and Vice President of Greenway Medical Technologies, seeks to answer these questions. The original presentation was delivered last week; however you can view the entire webinar here, as well.

In this hour webinar, we hope you’ll learn:

  • How the stimulus money will be paid out
  • What it takes to qualify for funding
  • Which specialties qualify for funding
  • How “meaningful use” is defined
  • What constitutes a “qualified EHR”

Assessment

There’s some great content here, so be sure to check it out.
