Meaningful Use (MU) Stage 2 has been a challenge for many healthcare facilities throughout the U.S., but that appears to be especially true for private practice radiologists. Industry statistics show that radiology adoption for MU is still low, and Cristine Kao, global marketing director for HCIS, Carestream, explains that this is an opportunity for education on what Stage 2 adoption means, especially for the private practices.

Meaningful Use (MU) Stage 2 has been a challenge for many healthcare facilities throughout the U.S., but that appears to be especially true for private practice radiologists. Industry statistics show that radiology adoption for MU is still low, and Cristine Kao, global marketing director for HCIS, Carestream, explains that this is an opportunity for education on what Stage 2 adoption means, especially for the private practices.
