Home Forums Discussions Meaningful Use Meaningful Use Question

John,
If you go into the meaningful use wizard within the patients chart in the right corner just above the vital signs, you will see it turn from red to green in the "current encounter" area once you print the plan box. I believe that you only need to print the visit summary. AC will also print a CCD with a separate click if you want it to but it is a pretty useless piece of paper for a patient. I have had two patient ask for electronic copies of their records and I have given electronic copies of their records to both of them. One of them happens to be a corporate compliance officer for a large hospital corp far away. We played with the meaningful use wizard to see when it would go from red to green and give me credit. There are multiple ways to go about exporting a patients chart to a thumb drive. It turned green when we transferred the CCR from the summary page. When we were done we went to another computer and just tried to see what we had and it was the CCR. There were not any notes or anything.
I think in the wizard...when it goes from red to green, you have met the measure. It is easy to quickly check how you are doing during encounters while working throughout the day. I had to play with it to get the hang of it.
That's all I know.
