Informed Consent
The waiting game is officially over. The rules for achieving Electronic Health Record (EHR) Meaningful Use are final. Now healthcare organizations seeking to receive incentive payments under the HITECH Act must focus on meeting Phase 1 benchmarks in 2011 and beyond.

Emmi programs help you meet Meaningful Use Requirements
In addition to the core elements of HITECH Meaningful Use, the rule creates a menu of 10 additional EHR-related tasks. Healthcare organizations can pick 5 of these 10 elements to implement in 2011-2012. One such element relates to providing patient-specific education resources.
Emmi programs help healthcare organizations satisfy guidelines for patient-specific education resources. Specifically, by integrating Emmi programs with an EHR, healthcare organizations can ensure that “more than 10%” of their patients are provided with such resources.
What are Emmi programs?
Interactive Emmi programs inform and engage patients. Written in plain language, the programs use audio and visual techniques to help patients make sense of vital evidence-based medical information. Secure and trackable, Emmi programs enable health care organizations to improve the patient experience across the continuum of care.
