Web CME
The lecture, "CMS Electronic Health Records Demo Project," was presented by Rhonda Medows, MD during the GAFP's 60th Annual Scientific Assembly in November 2008. The GAFP elected to conduct this CME activity to help family physicians understand the mechanics of the New Medicare Demonstration Project and its goal to provide incentives for using EHRs to improve quality of care for Georgia patients. The need for this lecture was determined by GAFP membership needs assessment survey, lecture evaluation results and information gathered from CMS.At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Understand the mechanics of the New Medicare Demonstration Project and it's goal to provide incentives for using EHRs to improve quality of care
- Explain how the program is designed to show that widespread adoption and use of interoperable EHRs will reduce medical errors and improve the quality of care for an estimated 3.6 million consumers
- Understand the multiple phases of the project, the implementation plan and the selection process
We thank you for participating in this online activity and hope it serves as a valuable educational tool.
