Here is an update on where Amazing Charts is with regards to Practice Management and Meaningful Use:

Our Practice Management module is (mostly) on track for beta release in the first quarter of 2011. Many of our users have played a significant role in designing this full-featured billing program. The delay is due to new Federal requirements for EHRs, specifically the requirment that EHRs be ONC-ATCB (aka Meaningful Use) Certified. We have been working since July (when the final rules were completed by HHS) to add the dozens of new features and reporting tools necessary to receive certification.

Amazing Charts is 100% dedicated to achieving all stages of Meaningful Use Certification, as using an EHR that has this certification is one of the requirements to receive up to $44K in ARRA/HITECH stimulus money. Our built-in Meaningful Use Wizard will make collecting and submitting the required reports a (relatviely) easy task. Learn more about the stimulus money earmarked for providers on our website.

Last week we applied for Meaningful Use Certification testing, and we anticipate receiving this certification by years end (well before the last 90 days of 2011 discussed above). As always, Amazing Charts enhancements - including the Meaningful Use Certified version which will be V6.0 - are provided at no additional cost to clients who subscribe to our Guardian Angel Support & Maintenance service. (Don't forget the 12/1 price increase, so if you don't subscribe to our maintenance service, do so before the end of the month.)
