WEBINAR: Meaningful Use Core Measure 15 - Privacy and Security

Ray Young, Information Technology Officer

Small practice providers aiming to achieve Meaningful Use must conduct or review a security risk analysis of their certified EHR technology and implement updates as necessary at least once prior to the end of the EHR reporting period.

Security updates are required for security deficiencies identified during the risk analysis. A security update could be updated software for certified EHR technology to be implemented as soon as available, changes in workflow processes or storage methods, or any other necessary corrective action that needs to take place in order to eliminate the security deficiency or deficiencies identified in the risk analysis.

During the webinar, we will go over few guidelines that highlight some security features available to small practices through the EHR system and tools that will assist small practices in conducting a risk analysis and risk management plan. 

To receive the full Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentives for 2012, you must begin meeting Meaningful Use for 90 days by October 3, 2012.
