Welcome to the Promoting Interoperability Programs Registration System

About This Site

The Promoting Interoperability Programs (previously known as The Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Programs) will provide incentive payments to eligible professionals and eligible hospitals as they demonstrate adoption, implementation, upgrading, or meaningful use of certified EHR technology. These interoperability programs are designed to support providers in this period of Health IT transition and instill the use of EHRs in meaningful ways to help our nation to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of patient health care.
