Meaningful Use Attestation by Psychiatrists

The ONC released a spreadsheet recently of all the eligible providers (Medicare and Medicaid) who attested to Stage 1 Meaningful Use (MU) of certified electronic health records (EHRs). I downloaded the results and did some pivot table magic to see which EHRs are being used by physicians identifying their specialty as "psychiatry."

There were 285 people who said they were compliant with Stage 1 MU. Interestingly, there were others who identified themselves in other ways. Three were "Community Mental Health Centers," even though HITECH specifically included them (but a doc there can attest, so I guess it's ok); they used Meditech and HCA. Five identified as "psychiatric" (Cerner, Design Clinicals, Siemens, and Wellsoft). And 16 as "psychiatric unit (Epic, Cerner, NextGen, McKesson, GE, HCA, Meditech, Midas+, Siemens). Here is data on the 285 identified as "psychiatry." If I get ambitious, I'll come back and hyperlink the names.
[edit 2/26: the links are in the Clinical Psychiatry News version of this article]

After discounting the large system products (eg, Epic, Cerner), you can get an idea about the EHR products being used in outpatient private practices.
