Q: Are ambulatory surgery centers eligible for the government monies that the hospitals and physicians are receiving for instituting electronic health records?
Todd Logan: ASCs are not yet eligible for stimulus funds, but we anticipate ASCs being required to document electronically in the next few years.
We doubt there will be a financial stimulus attached, but rather a reduction in reimbursement if they are not documenting electronically.
To learn more about EHRs in ASCs, watch replays of two recent webinars: "Electronic Health Records: Understanding the Opportunities for Your ASC" and "EHR in the ASC: How to Drive Cost Savings with Point-of-Care Charting."
