Advantages of Implementing ONC-ATCB Certified EHR Technology
Use of ONC-ATCB certified EHR technology is a required first step in qualifying eligible healthcare providers for incentive funding available under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
RevenueXL provides Certified EMR and EHR Software to eligible Physicians and providers which qualifies them to receive the EHR incentives under the Medicare or Medicaid incentive plan, provided the provider is able to demonstrate meaningful use of the EHR or EMR Software implemented.
By implementing a certified EHR system, providers will reap benefits beyond financial incentives - like reduction in errors, availability of records and data, reminders and alerts, clinical decision support and e-Prescribing/refill automation.
