CHIMING In On Stark Law
Continuing this week the Stark Law reform topic, the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) recent survey showed that most hospital execs won't be taking advantage of the change that allows donation of EMRs to private physicians.
The survey found that 62% of respondents do not plan to take advantage of the new Stark exception and anti-kickback safe harbor laws. CIOs (read lawyers) are apparently concerned that the reform could be overturned and that exact interpretation of the law is not black-and-white. CHIME said that the 38% who do plan to take advantage of the reformed laws are planning on donating software, implementation support, training and help-desk support.
