Radiation oncology firm Elekta said that two of its customers became the first users of its Mosaiq oncology information system in 2012 to complete the attestation process to prove meaningful use under the federal government's healthcare IT stimulus program.
During a 90-day period, the centers were required to meet 20 patient-focused measures using Mosaiq to record and manage patient records electronically, Elekta said.
Four medical oncologists at Cancer Specialists of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City submitted their attestations on April 5, each qualifying to receive $18,000 in incentive funds in 2012, Elekta said. Additional payments up to $44,000 per physician are receivable until 2016 by continuing to meet meaningful use requirements under Medicare rules, according to the firm.
In addition, Elekta said that a radiation oncologist from Tuality/Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) Cancer Center in Hillsboro, OR, submitted her attestation on April 12.
