(2011-01-20) Meaningful Use Progress Hearing

There was a congressional sub-committee hearing on "Early Adoption of Meaningful Use Of EMR". Let’s hope O-NCHIT is listening to what they say and take serious the fact that there is increasing concern about the scope and timing of these requirements. If their goal is to make it so just 10-20% of the EPs can meet the MU criteria, then the folks from this meeting would say they appear to be doing well. But if their goal is to get over 50%, then they may need to rethink some of the complexity of the requirements and the timing involved in meeting them.
