Other Considerations
www.eidebai lly.com
Electronic Health Records
•
Impact
•
Potential for change if authoritative guidance is
released
• If not deferred for CAH, operating revenues will be
overstated in year 1 and understated in future years
based on recognition of expenses
• Without authoritative guidance, disclosure of policy is
most important aspect

DISCLAIMER
•
•
•
There is no authoritative guidance
Treatment will need to be analyzed on an individual
entity basis
