6 MEANINGFUL USE (MU) FAST FACTS Intent: Better health care does not come from the adoption of technology itself. It is accomplished through the exchange and use of health information for effective clinical decisions at the point of care. Definition: Providers need to show they are using federally-certified EHR technology in ways that can be measured significantly in quality and in quantity. The three stages of MU criteria each include both a core set and a menu set of objectives that are specific to eligible professionals or eligible hospitals and CAHs. MU Stage 1: Electronically capturing health information in a coded/structured format Using that information to track key clinical conditions Communicating that information for care coordination purposes First Incentive Payment Year: 2011 Priority Area #1: Improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health disparities Priority Area #2: Engage patients and their families in health care Priority Area #3: Improve care coordination Priority Area #4: Improve public health (e.g., coordination with immunization registries) MU Stage 2: The use of HIT for continuous quality improvement at the point of care The electronic exchange of information in the most structured format possible Stage 1 Menu Set objectives/measures will be transitioned into the Stage 2 Core Set, with increased thresholds required First Incentive Payment Year: 2013 MU Stage 3: Improving quality, safety, and efficiency by requiring physicians to meet a minimum expected performance level Decision support for national high priority conditions Patient access to self-management tools Access to comprehensive patient data Improving population health First Incentive Payment Year: 2015
