Conshohocken, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/16/2013 -- On March 23, 2010, a single signature spawned billions of dollars of spending and a new approach to running healthcare in the United States. That signature was on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; or what most of the public now refer to as Obamacare. Much of the language in the Affordable Care Act is vague; however the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid have introduced some major financial incentives for healthcare providers utilizing electronic medical records. Graffen has been offering customers IT services in Philadelphia for many years. Now, Graffen is offering dictation solutions for healthcare professionals utilizing electronic medical records.
There is no disputing the fact that the United States spends entirely too much money on healthcare. In fact, the United States is spending over 16% of the gross domestic product on healthcare and that number is simply not sustainable. One of the major goals of the Affordable Care Act and many insurance companies are to lower the cost of healthcare consumption. Whether or not Electronic Health Records will translate into long-term savings for the healthcare industry is still up for debate. However, the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs provide major financial incentives for participating healthcare professionals. For healthcare professionals to be eligible for the maximum payment under the Medicare or Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, they had to participate by 2012. Furthermore, to remain a participant, healthcare providers must continue to demonstrate meaningful use.
Graffen can help customers with everything from a laser printer scanner in Philadelphia to EHR dictation.
