Anthelio helps hospitals and other healthcare providers navigate through the extensive ARRA requirements in order to prepare for ARRA meaningful use compliance. Anthelio provides specialized resources that are familiar with all aspects of meaningful use. This detailed knowledge enables them to work with the client to generate a comprehensive strategy and program plan which guides them through the process.

• Operationalizing the ARRA Rules: Our consultants have compiled a condensed format and approach to operationalizing the rules for meeting meaningful use requirements and associated milestones. Strategic Planning is critical to ensure ongoing meaningful use as healthcare organizations transition through stages 1-3. Functional and quality operational changes are closely integrated with clinical workflows to improve adoption of the electronic medical record technology.
• Communication: The consulting team implements a feedback framework for the executive team that provides real time compliance updates and proposed remediation steps to assure ongoing compliance. Our team facilitates meetings for the IT EHR Leadership Committee and reviews in detail the operational and technical impact the ARRA requirements will have on your organizations operating rhythm.
• Understanding Current State and the Strategic Gap: We evaluate your clinical, functional and reporting measurements as well as technical requirements with a deep and detailed understanding of the intent of the regulations and the ability of your core Electronic Health Record (EHR) and niche system capabilities in meeting those requirements.
• Understanding Vendor Responsibilities: Our team helps identify niche specialty systems that may need to become certified as modules, and will be directly involved in managing protected health information (PHI) and meeting HITECH requirements.
