The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and the HITECH Act are expected to make a significant impact on clinical systems adoption in the US marketplace - especially electronic health records (EHR). The ARRA and HITECH Act present a tremendous opportunity for healthcare providers to embrace new technology and get access to federal funding and for healthcare ISVs to increase revenues and market share.

While most healthcare organizations recognize this opportunity, only a few have the engineering and professional services capabilities to support the aggressive timelines set as part of the HITECH Act.

CitiusTech’s Meaningful Use Practice Area helps healthcare organizations and healthcare technology vendors capture the emerging market opportunities and meet the Meaningful Use Stage 1 adoption timeline of 2012. We also help healthcare organizations and providers closely evaluate the requirements for Meaningful Use Stage 2 and Stage 3 to build a robust product roadmap and technology architecture for future regulatory requirements.

The Meaningful Use Practice Area focuses on enhancing healthcare applications to comply with present Meaningful Use requirements. Key requirements for most healthcare applications include:

• Establishing consumer connectivity

• Improving clinical and public health reporting

• Integrating evidence-based guidelines in clinical applications

• Improving long-term care management processes

• Connecting with NHIN, HIEs and RHIOs

CitiusTech’s professional services team can support implementation, integration and customization of EMRs and other clinical systems. Scaling professional services teams is likely to be a key success factors for many organizations (especially Healthcare ISVs).
