May 18, 2011 — The American Medical Association (AMA) has gone into the business of helping physicians go paperless, and qualify for federal cash in the process.
At a Web portal operated by an AMA subsidiary called Amagine, physicians can access software for electronic health records (EHRs), e-prescribing, patient registries, and more, all with a single sign-on, as opposed to a separate user ID and password for each program. As part of the deal, consultants will help customers select and implement the programs. The AMA calls it a 1-stop shop for gearing up to earn as much as $44,000 under Medicare, and almost $64,000 under Medicaid, for "meaningful use" of an EHR.
