About Us
It started with a check for $27,000,000,000...
In 2009, US lawmakers passed the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act with $27 billion in financial incentives to accelerate the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs). To qualify for these payments, providers need to adopt and 'Meaningfully Use' certified EHR technology. One requirement of EHR certification is that the technology must generate electronic documents containing key clinical information using standard terminologies. 
Clinfometrics, Inc. uses these new standards in clinical and claims data to provide insight for health providers. If you are a healthcare organization eligible for Meaningful Use and seeking to improve care efficiency and effectiveness, you may be ready for the next generation in integrated clinical-financial analytics.
