Hospitals that have Demonstrated Meaningful Use through the Medicare EHR Incentive Program

Percent of all Eligible and Critical Hospitals Paid through Medicare EHR Incentive Program for Demonstrating Meaningful Use

These visualizations depict the percent of eligible and critical access hospitals that have demonstrated meaningful use of certified health IT through the Medicare Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program through 2015. Some hospitals have received payments (for either meaningful use, or adopt, implement, or upgrade (AIU) of health IT) through both the Medicare and Medicaid Incentive Programs.

These visualizations encompass only those hospitals that have demonstrated meaningful use in at least one program year through the Medicare Program. These visualizations use the EHR Products Used for Meaningful Use Attestation public use file (PUF) and the CMS Provider of Services (POS) file to generate these calculations and identify the geographic locations of participating hospitals. The PUF provides the counts of all hospitals that demonstrated meaningful use, and the POS provides the denominator of hospitals for each state. These denominators include only active, eligible hospitals.

This app allows you to plot the geographic locations of these hospitals. Plots correspond only to those hospitals that have demonstrated meaningful use.
