CHIME airs “critical concerns” about EHR incentive program
ANN ARBOR, MI – The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives filed its comments regarding the EHR Incentive Program with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on Friday. The comments address what the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based organization calls “critical concerns” regarding the proposed regulations that were unveiled on December 30, 2009.
The organization, which has 1,400 members representing chief information officers and other top information technology executives at many of the nation’s largest hospitals, coordinated efforts with other industry organizations, such as the American Hospital Association, to thoroughly research key concerns and reach a consensus on responses that provide guidance on how to successfully roll out the incentive program, said officials.
