What is meaningful use?

Meaningful Use is a program established by the U.S. government to promote the adoption and effective use of electronic health records (EHRs) by healthcare providers. It incentivizes providers to use EHR technology in ways that improve patient care, enhance the quality of services, and ensure better health outcomes. The program outlines specific criteria and measures that healthcare organizations must meet to qualify for financial incentives, ultimately aiming to create a more efficient and effective healthcare system.
