New Year Brings New and Updated ARRA Materials
MEDITECH welcomes 2011 with a variety of materials designed to help customers prepare for Meaningful Use.

In addition to our recent certification announcements for MAGIC and Client/Server, as well for LSS Data Systems, we're excited to announce several new and updated ARRA-related materials designed to help customers prepare.

We've revamped our
Best Practice documentation area (customer access only) to more easily indicate the materials available for each platform.

Dozens of new "ARRA Meaningful Use Stage 1" documents have been added in recent weeks. This series of materials provides implementation guidelines and application details arranged by key Stage 1 criteria topics.

We have a new "ARRA Meaningful Use Stage 1 Reporting" section available for MAGIC customers. We expect to have the Client/Server reporting section ready during January and the 6.0 reporting section ready during February.

New "ARRA Meaningful Use Stage 1 Checklists" designed for both MAGIC and Client/Server customers provide guidance and suggestions for how to best prepare your organization for Meaningful Use.

Updated "
Meaningful Use Criteria Product Road Maps" reflect some new clarifications from CMS regarding unique patients for CPOE.

Be sure to check our Interoperability & EHR Initiatives Portal and Best Practices area of www.meditech.com often throughout the coming months.
