Driving from meaningful to exceptional
Achieving meaningful use of healthcare IT is part of a journey, not the destination. The ultimate goal is the management and delivery of exceptional patient care services. Siemens is helping healthcare organizations navigate the route from understanding the new rules, to meeting the requirements, to proving excellent patient care.
"We at Siemens Healthcare are unwavering in our commitment to supporting customers through industry changes. Our intent is to position our entire customer base to pursue the HITECH incentives, as demonstrated by our comprehensive approach to certification, which includes achieving Complete EHR ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification for Soarian® EHR 2010, INVISION® EHR 2010 and MedSeries4® EHR 2010. What's more, by certifying six additional Modular EHRs, we cover the broadest possible range of our customer community. We continue to focus on providing tools and services that will help our customers move beyond the requirement for meaningful use to the delivery of truly exceptional healthcare services."

CEO, Health Services, Siemens Healthcare
