Meaningful Use Vanguard Program

Health care clinicians who have begun to make the successful transition to an EHR and are using their system as a clinical management tool have an opportunity to participate in a national movement developed by ONC called Meaningful Use Vanguard (MUV).

This exclusive group of champions of EHR adoption and meaningful use will be recognized as local leaders, advisors, and role models in the move toward an electronically-enabled health care system. There are no mandatory requirements if one is identified as a MUVer.

• In addition to being recognized as a leader, MUVers can:
• Get access to an exclusive online community of EHR leaders to collaborate, participate, and advance knowledge
• Join a conversation on related topics with other MUVers regionally and nationally
• Be an advisor to REACH and ONC on testing of new tools and materials
• Give feedback on meaningful use and other policy developments

MUVers are health care clinicians who meet any of the following criteria:

• Made the transition to paperless records
• Applied experience in using EHR as a clinical management tool
• Experience with data exchange (eRx or labs)
• Experience with advanced application of EHR (e.g. population health management)
• A willingness to share their experience and knowledge with others

REACH may be contacting you about becoming a MUVer. REACH clients who are interested in this recognition, should contact their REACH consultant.
