NaviCare® Smart Hub™ Solution
Connecting Patient Data and the EMR

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 allocated $34B to drive greater adoption of healthcare IT. To receive the incentive payments, providers must demonstrate "meaningful use" of certified Electronic Medical Records system, starting in 2011. To meet the proposed meaningful use criteria, a solution is needed to help ease of the documentation burden while truly improving the meaningful use of an Electronic Medical Records system.
