Is the Concept of Operations for S&I framework actually available yet, or do you know when it will be?<br /><br />Rich -- well said. "Next to impossible" is an understatement -- unless there's assurance that the "clear signal to the market" that Paul mentioned (April 2011) would be a guard rail beyond which the final rule won't go. I haven't heard any such assurance, however, and Stage 1 experience indicated that there were new requirements as well as decreased requirements, when going from the HIT PC MU matrix to the IFR/NPRM to the Final Rules. Hopefully, Stage 2/3 will incorporate improvements to the process. <br /><br />DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251393010554964308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-82922163468635599602010-10-28T08:08:40.950-07:002010-10-28T08:08:40.950-07:00John,

Thanks for the great ...A very informative meeting. Thanks for the great leadership.<br /><br />One curious thing: the Stage 2 timeline slippage proposed by Paul Tang got underwhelming reaction. By his new timeline, looks like only 3-5 months between Final Rule and 10/1/2012 Stage 2 go-live date, with its 365 day requirement. That's moving beyond light speed: no time for EHR development, QA, testing, roll-out, install, work flow modifications, training,and, oh, yes, NIST test process development and certification.<br />Major conflict between time-line and patient safety considerations.<br />My curiousity: the time line appears next to impossible, why such minimal reaction from the committee?Rich Landennoreply@blogger.com
