Abstract: The Recovery Act expands the use of health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health records (EHRs) to improve the quality and value of health care. The Recovery Act establishes incentive payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and Medicare Advantage Organization (MAO)-affiliated eligible professionals (EPs) and eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) to promote the adoption and meaningful use (MU) of interoperable HIT and EHRs. These provisions, together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be cited as the "Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act" or "HITECH Act" which authorizes CMS to develop the incentive programs, key to enticing providers to use HIT. All proposed information collection requirements are necessary to implement the HITECH Act. With this submission, we are creating a new PRA package for Medicare and Medicaid eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals and CAHs. The functionality of certified EHR technology facilitates the implementation of meaningful use.
