Achieving Meaningful Use
With the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, approximately $20 billion will be allocated to healthcare providers for Healthcare IT improvements. Hospitals must meet the definition of “meaningful use”, to be eligible for these funds.
Using Plexina™ 2.0, healthcare providers can accelerate their CPOE implementation satisfying the CCHIT’s 2011 and 2013 requirements.
Primary Meaningful Use Objectives Supported by Plexina 2.0
| Care Goals | 2011 Objectives | How Plexina supports this |
| Use evidence-based order sets and CPOE. Apply clinical decision support at the point of care. | Orders (any type) directly entered by authorizing provider (e.g. MD, DO, RN, PA, NP) through CPOE. | Successful CPOE implementation relies on the delivery of clinical content through the use of evidenced based order sets. Using Plexina, hospitals can create, validate and integrate these order sets into the CPOE module 4 to 5 times faster than manual development, and 2 to 3 times faster than adapting purchased content. |
| Maintain an up-to-date problem list of current and active diagnosis based on ICD-9, ICD-10 or SNOMED CT | Plexina’s proprietary catalog matching algorithms allow users to match clinical content and care paths defined at their lowest levels to standards such as ICD-9, ICD-10, SNOMED CT and local catalogs. | |
| Implement clinical decision support rules relevant to specialty or high clinical priority. | Clinical decision rules are structured within all order sets built within Plexina. |
In addition to the “meaningful use” objectives, the Medicare Pay for Performance Incentives can also be met by using Plexina™ 2.0 through use of evidence-based research linked to individual order sets. Plexina can verify evidence-based order set usage and capture proper ICD-10 coding in the design of standardized clinical content, promoting hospitals’ use of evidence-based care and receiving higher Medicare reimbursement rates.
