Informatics Now Lives
In A HITECH World
Although not all of biomedical and health
informatics, HITECH and MU are now the major
drivers
HITECH brings use of EHRs, quality reporting,
etc. to mainstream of healthcare
Leading to better ways to learn about MU?

Summary Lecture c

In addition to meaningful use objectives required
of eligible professionals and hospitals, there are
various standards for structure of the data and its
security
The clinical quality measures for meaningful use
must be reported to receive the incentive
payments, and the new measures that will be
unveiled in 2014 will be required of all eligible
professionals and hospitals no matter the current
stage
