Meaningful Use

With the CMS release of the final rule for Stage 2, we’re moving beyond data collection to improving care, efficiency and patient safety.  At HIMSS13 the focus will be on usability and proven implementation. We’ve taken the lead in arming all eligible institutional or professional stakeholders with meaningful use compliance solutions to help you avoid revenue loss and regulatory penalties.  Whatever Meaningful Use stage you’re in, immerse yourself in the exhibit floor’s new Meaningful Use Experience. Knowledge sharing continues throughout HIMSS13 as more than 14 general education, workshops and symposia sessions help both clinicians and executives recognize Meaningful Use as not just a health IT project but an organization-wide initiative. HIMSS13 is the right place for finding exactly the Meaningful Use knowledge and know-how you need – right now.
