Key benefits, risks and challenges to achieving and maintaining compliance with Stage 1 requirements
    Leveraging meaningful use requirements to create strategic opportunities

Achieving standards alone will take health systems only so far on the road to the meaningful use of EHRs and health IT. As the health industry continues to converge in response to regulatory pressures, health systems will need to transform the way they deliver care, so they can sustain performance and grow revenue in the future. Success will hinge on health systems' closer integration with key constituents—physicians, health insurers, and patients—than in the past. Meaningful use has cleared a road of opportunity to make this happen. How aggressively health systems are traveling the road varies.

This presentation, which includes original research from PricewaterhouseCoopers' Health Research Institute, focuses on the key accelerators and barriers to achieving meaningful use and the ways organizations are leveraging meaningful use requirements to create strategic opportunities by aligning with physicians and health insurers, engaging and empower patients, and moving towards evidence-based medicine using digital innovation.
