AHRQ to identify Medicaid meaningful use barriers
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) intends to identify barriers for Medicaid participants to meet meaningful use EHR requirements to qualify for incentive payments.
In the Jan. 18 Federal Register, AHRQ released a notice to request that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve the proposed information collection project titled “Barriers to Meaningful Use in Medicaid.”
The information will be used to develop recommendations to overcoming barriers to meaningful use of EHRs for Medicaid providers, including but not limited to technical assistance that could be made available to Medicaid providers, according to AHRQ.
“Furthermore, the data gathered through this research will inform the meaningful use objectives being developed by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for Stages 2 and 3 of the EHR Incentive Program,” the agency stated.
Comments on this notice must be received by March 21.
