The government has just released 700 pages of proposed regulation that defines meaningful use of electronic health record technology.  Last year’s economic stimulus package allocates $17.2 billion in incentives to reward Medicare and Medicaid providers who can prove they are using healthcare IT “in a meaningful way.” With only eighteen months until the Stage 1 implementation deadline to obtain these incentives, experts warn providers not to waste time getting their healthcare IT house in order. This is where Skyline Technologies can help.

With your IT staff already stretched, implementing the systems, processes, and tools needed to qualify for meaningful use payments will be a huge task. Skyline’s team of highly skilled healthcare IT architects, senior program/project managers, and software engineers can help you capture healthcare information in a coded format, use that information to track key clinical conditions, and communicate that information throughout your organization for care coordination purposes.  We have delivered clinical decision support applications to facilitate disease and medication management and clinical quality analytics.
