Meaningful Use and Government Incentives

The federal government strongly supports the efficiency and effectiveness of EHR adoption for the American healthcare system, and makes available incentives to you, the provider of care, to purchase, implement and meaningfully use a system. Falcon EHR supports physicians in achieving Meaningful Use, eRx and PQRS program requirements.

Falcon EHR received ONCHIT (or Meaningful Use) certification on June 2nd, 2011, which means it can be used by physicians to qualify for Meaningful Use of an EHR. By demonstrating Meaningful Use, physicians can qualify for federal stimulus payments of up to $44,000*.
