CMS is pleased to announce that through Medscape Education, you now have the opportunity to achieve CME credits by learning more about the Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Programs.
On Medscape's EHR Learning Center website, leading physician experts in medical informatics provide information, resources, and tools to help providers determine eligibility for the EHR Incentive Programs, understand the requirements for participating, take steps to participate, and recognize the immediate benefits of participation and future consequences of not participating.
By completing the module From Meaningful Use to Meaningful Care, providers can earn CME credit while gaining a better understanding about the purpose of the EHR Incentive Programs, the stages of meaningful use, a timeline of key dates, and most importantly, how patients will benefit.
Providers can also use the Medscape Learning Center to determine their comprehension of the EHR Incentive Programs by taking the Participant Self Assessment: Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentives: What Do You Know and Do You Know Enough? By completing the assessment, providers can help to shape the content of future CME activities to best address the educational and clinical performance gaps identified. In the next few weeks, new CME modules on meaningful use will be available. Look out for for a listserv message to announce these new learning resources.
