Be Prepared for Electronic Forms On February 17, 2009 President Obama signed into law The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, providing us with a tremendous opportunity to transform healthcare in the United States. The law provides $19 billion in health information technology funding to ensure widespread adoption and use of interoperable healthcare IT systems such as the Electronic Health Record <http://www.allscripts.com/products/electronic-health-record/default.asp ?source=stimulus> [formerly know as Electronic Medical Record]. Obama's mission is to computerize the nation's health care records in 5 years. From ''American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009'' HR1 - (3) (a) (ii) Plan to include specific objectives, milestones, and metrics with respect to the following: The utilization of an electronic health record for each person in the United States by 2014. In the medical field, it all will be transactional based - the more Medicare claims a physician submits via an EHR certified application the more incentive dollars they receive. Maximum per is $12,000 in year 1, $8,000 in year 2, $4,000 in year 3, $2,000 in year 4, penalties (in the form of lowered Medicare payments) starting in year 5. Almost every electronic records software manufacturer says that your office will be paperless and meet the requirements that the government is insisting upon to lower heath care costs and minimize mistakes. However, they suggest that in order to become paperless, the practice must retype all the information provided by the patient on often illegible handwritten forms into the EHR or scan all the information. Submit Patient Forms provides the missing link to the electronic forms puzzle.
