It was only a requirement for Eligible Providers in the MU Grid previously published.<br />I'm hoping it's a mistake in not delineating ePrescribing in the Mandatory Objectives column and assigning it to EPs only.<br /><br />Regards.

But as for Recommendation 9, there's a bit more to it, since a big part of the committee's discussion concerned teaching hospitals and shared responsibilities between supervising providers and other "licensed professionals." I think we'll hear even more clarification on CPOE when the Meaningful Use workgroup meets again in March.Michelle Whttp://www.occampm.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-3568770433173484202010-02-22T10:33:29.668-08:002010-02-22T10:33:29.668-08:00Re: Recommendation 1.0 - Documentation

(1) documentation is required for current payment, so it just adds a reporting burden on physicians, (2) there is no concrete definition of "progress notes.". (3) we need to move beyond documentation and get to data exchange. Physicians complain all the time about 5-6 page "notes" from an EHR on a routine visit that say nothing of clinical importance or the signal to noise ratio is so low it is not worth the read; (4) the administrative burden for MU as proposed is already to high without adding more.Steven Waldren MD, MSnoreply@blogger.com
