What ARRA and Meaningful Use Mean to Laboratories
For those of you less familiar or confused with all that is going on regarding the ARRA stimulus package for healthcare information technology and meaningful use, here is a quick overview: Based on the proposed criteria for Stage 1 of meaningful use, the single biggest issue facing laboratories regarding ARRA and meaningful use is integration. As best as we can tell thus far, integration to the EMR will affect all labs, including POLs, hospitals, and reference laboratories. Your ability to integrate your laboratory to your facility’s EMR or your laboratory clients’ EMR systems will be the number one issue for the next couple of years. Learn more about what ARRA and meaningful use mean to laboratories.

and its Impact on Labs
The next few years will be very exciting in healthcare IT, with all the incentive monies available for doctors ($44K each) and for hospitals (over $2M) to embrace EMR technologies and prove meaningful use.
For more information on ARRA and its impact on laboratories, view a copy of the webinar Orchard Software’s Curt Johnson, VP of Sales and Marketing presented on August 19, 2010.

Don’t Pass on this Upgrade and Fall Behind
We encourage you to not let your Harvest LIS fall behind with upgrades. You will miss out on the advantages of the new features, and you also run the risk of not being current with upgrades incorporated for new regulatory issues. Finally, while upgrades are included at no cost with support, if you continue to pass on upgrades, it may cost you when the time comes for you to do so. Not only may you need new hardware, but in order to bring your system up-to-date, it may require a site visit from an Orchard Systems Engineer, which is a cost not included for normal upgrades.
