CareCloud is pleased to announce that its web-based EHR has earned a very quick return on investment for multiple doctors on the CareCloud network. Word came in today that the first round of physicians to deploy the CareCloud Charts EHR have received their Meaningful Use incentives.
A two-doctor practice in Homestead, Florida earned $21,500 per physician from Medicaid and did so in rapid fashion. The practice administrators attested online on Tuesday the 10th and were paid out today – a turn-around time of less than one calendar week.
The CareCloud Charts product was just made available to consumers in January, so today’s deposit of M.U. incentive dollars represents a huge win for our customers.
CareCloud’s superb team of sales professionals, software developers, implementation specialists and operations reps work together every day to give each client the most effective, comprehensive onboarding experience possible, so seeing a customer earn Meaningful Use money is the culmination of a lot of hard work for the team.
Chris Schain, CareCloud’s Manager of Implementations, worked closely with the incentivized physicians and their office staff throughout the transition to the Charts EHR.
“To know that people we’ve worked with are earning $21,500 just for using our system is really pretty thrilling,” said Schain. “It’s a representation of the value CareCloud’s product really has to physicians in their practices every day. It’s awesome to have played such a big role in helping them achieve this milestone.”
Because CareCloud Charts is delivered online, through advanced, web-enabled cloud computing technology, the system is available to practices instantaneously upon deployment, with no lengthy wait for hardware installation or software downloads. The design of the system makes it intuitive and easy to learn, which makes Meaningful Use easy.
Which is a major advantage, considering that Meaningful Use is a three-tiered process. With the attainment of incentives today, the doctors have achieved Stage-1, but they’re not out of the woods of the HITECH mandates yet. The Stage-2 requirements were released just recently, and the details of Stage-3 have yet to be disclosed.
As this first round of doctors, and the rest of CareCloud Charts users, move ahead with Meaningful Use, we’ll continue to provide them with a great product – and great service – to make attaining incentives as fast and easy as possible.
