More than 21,000 healthcare providers have registered to participate in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services electronic health record (EHR) incentive program, with about two thirds ready to confirm that they have met the meaningful use requirements when CMS activates the software for that. The latest numbers cover the period until only the end of January, and CMS health IT officials reported a steady uptick in the numbers of providers registering. The attestation module at the CMS website will launch in April, said Elizabeth Holland, director of the health IT initiatives group in the CMS Office of eHealth Standards and Services. It’s taken so long because it’s complicated, Holland said.
