Muscle Stimulation Frequency

Muscle Stimulation Frequency

The contraction strength of muscles is regulated by motor neurons, which modulate the frequency of action potentials dispatched to the motor units based on the body's requirements. This process of varying the muscle stimulation frequency allows muscles to contract with a force that is precisely tailored to the needs of the moment, whether lifting a feather or a heavy box.
Wave summation
At low firing rates, motor neurons induce individual twitch contractions in muscle fibers. These twitches...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Healthcare Policy

Background:

Medicare incentives for EHR adoption commence in fiscal year 2011.
Hospitals and physician groups are expected to expedite their EHR implementations in response.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the impact of Medicare incentives on EHR adoption timelines.
To explore how financial incentives influence healthcare providers' return-on-investment (ROI) calculations for EHR systems.

Main Methods:

Analysis of Medicare incentive program timelines.
Assessment of potential impacts on healthcare IT investment decisions.

Main Results:

Anticipated acceleration of EHR implementation by healthcare providers.
Potential for Medicare incentives to strengthen the business case for EHR adoption.

Conclusions:

The 2014 goal for widespread EHR use may necessitate evolving definitions of meaningful use.
Flexibility in "meaningful use" criteria could facilitate broader provider adoption and prevent penalties.
