Meaningful Use Proposed Rule Word Cloud
ARRA HITECH "Meaningful Use" Word Cloud
I’m not quite sure what compelled me to do a word cloud of the ARRA HITECH “Meaningful Use” Proposed Rule, but I did it. Perhaps it was because I haven’t seen one yet. I think it’s interesting to note that there’s a whole lot more in the proposed rule about payments and incentives than actually using something meaningfully.
Top words: Payment(s), EHR, Incentive, Medicaid
The words “Quality”, “Health” and “Patient(s)” snuck in there if you can find them on the cloud situated around “Medicaid”.
