In a recently released white paper, athenahealth lays out seven actions electronic health record vendors should take to ensure measurable results on meaningful use for its clients. The seven actions to look for from EHR vendors, according to athenahealth, are:
1. The vendor guarantees stage 1 Medicare MU incentive payments for eligible providers who follow its guidance.
2. The vendor provides free training and support on how to fulfill the MU measures and monitor results.
3. The vendor updates clients' software continuously to include new measures and workflow changes at no extra cost to the clients.
4. The vendor provides free, real-time reporting to help track and assess provider performance against measures.
5. The vendor builds all 44 MU clinical quality measures into a workflow where they can be captured more easily.
6. The vendor provides the required interfaces for free and without interruption.
7. The vendor provides free attestation support and guidance when it comes time to attest.
