QUESTION

Which initiatives are a policy priority for Meaningful Use? (Select all that apply.)

a. To engage patients and families
b. To lower the cost of delivering healthcare services
c. To improve care coordination
d. To ensure adequate privacy and security of patient information

ANSWER:

ANS: A, C, D
Engaging patients and families, improving care coordination, and ensuring privacy and security are all policy initiatives that were used as foundational elements of how the Health IT Policy Committee defined Meaningful Use to achieve the specific public policy goals. The policy initiatives created by the Health IT Policy Committee did not base the Meaningful Use measures upon the intention of lowering the costs.
