MRS is now an ONC-ATCB Certified Ambulatory EHR
November 29th, 2011
Mammography Reporting System, Inc. (MRS), a leading provider of mammography information systems, has announced that MRS7 has been certified
as an Ambulatory Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) by an ONC approved Authorized Testing & Certification Body (ATCB), SLI Global Solutions. This Certification will allow facilities that implement and utilize MRS7-EHR to qualify for incentive payments from the Federal Government for, “Meaningful Use.”
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was passed by Congress to create an incentive for medical facilities to build and exchange
patient health care information for the purpose of providing more consistent and improved patient care. With this new EHR Certification, the opportunity is now available for Eligible Professionals to meet the “Meaningful Use” criteria and potentially receive up to $44,000 in Federal funding under this Medicare incentive program. In many states, Medicaid has also approved additional incentives, beyond the Medicare incentive, which can total up to an additional $63,750 per EP.
“This is truly an historical time in healthcare, where patient information is being integrated electronically, protected through enhanced security, and available to both clinicians and patients when and where it is needed. This all contributes to the advancement of complete patient records management, which decreases costs and increases quality of care,” said Mark Morris, CEO of MRS. “Combined with an Eligible Professional’s financial incentive available from the government, the question of whether to invest in a certified EHR has been answered, and it is a resounding “Yes.” The time to do it is now, when full financial incentives to do so are still available. MRS is proud to offer our new certified ambulatory version of MRS7-EHR.”
