This video provides information on how to recieve federal monies for healthcare services to the medicare and medicaid population, primarly. The challenge to change an organization structure to accomodate the meaningful use objectives will involve a mamouth restructing of work flow processes. Moreover, the employees,patients and stakeholders will have to accept a new process of during business in the health arena.

Information is not complete. The ACT served its primary purpose and has evolved to serve more purposes than what it started out for.
How has HITECH evolved in recent years?
HITECH has evolved in recent years since, in April 2018, CMS renamed the Meaningful Use incentive program as the Promoting Operability program. The change moved the program's focus beyond the requirements of Meaningful Use to the interoperability of EHRs to improve data collection and submission, and patient access to health information.
Is the Promoting Operability program still incentivized?
The Promoting Operability program is still incentivized and now forms part of the Medicare Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) which also measures the quality of healthcare services, the cost of healthcare services, and efforts to improve healthcare activities. The Promoting Operability category contributes to 25% of the overall MIPS score.
