Module MD




	2011 ARRA Incentive Ready

	ModuleMD EMR and Practice Management solutions have stayed ahead of the curve to provide customers with an interoperable, data-based approach to medical record capture, display and transmission. ModuleMD seeks to fulfill the objectives of the HITECH ACT as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 which states incentive guidelines for EMR adoption by physicians. Providers can rest assured knowing that they will be incentive ready with ModuleMD. ModuleMD Version 6.x will be released on November 01, 2009 and is targeted to meet the current published guidelines for “meaningful use” so that providers can claim the government incentives effective January, 2011. As the government publishes pertinent rules for ‘meaningful use’ the same will be incorporated in the versions to follow. Some specific features offered by ModuleMD Version 6.x include:
	Electronic Capture of Vital Signs, Assessment and Follow-up Progress Notes for every encounter Customizable Templates Comprehensive CPOE Integrated eRx with Allscripts Incorporated Lab results Patient Communication Customizable EHR for Practice needs Interoperability ready Quality Measures and Outcomes Reporting Certification based on HITECH Act requirements

	Regarding Certification:

	The Health Information Technology (HIT) Policy Committee workgroup has recommended that multiple organizations be accredited to perform and provide certification services. It also recommended that the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for HIT defines the certification criteria and develops the accreditation process for certifying organizations. ModuleMD is committed to acquiring the exact certification that the ONC designates for incentives eligibility. ModuleMD is cautious not to hastily obtain the existing certifications that are available, however popular, so that customers have exactly what the ONC requires (In fact, the ONC may not even require certification in order to receive incentives). As soon as the ONC announces its requirements, ModuleMD will fully comply. Existing and future customers of ModuleMD can be certain, similar to the successful implementation of its incentive-based eRx solution, that ModuleMD is capable of delivering the most meaningful and efficient EMR solution.
