This is because their definition (a) makes no mention of requiring EHRs to implement crucial “patient centered cognitive support” and (b) it postpones clinical outcomes, efficiency, and safety measures until 2015. <br /><br />I discuss this issue at http://curinghealthcare.blogspot.com/2009/06/meaningful-use-clinical-decision.htmlDr. Steve Bellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193853344152979923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-73843046082105039702009-06-17T07:44:51.182-07:002009-06-17T07:44:51.182-07:00John,
As the MU recommendation released yesterday ...John,<br />As the MU recommendation released yesterday are still "Draft" and based on my own assessment, require a major rework, how will this impact the HITSP timetable? Are there certain aspects of the MU draft, eg privacy and security for which there is not much controversy that HITSP will tackle first while the remaining parts of MU get redefined. Any and all enlightenment is appreciated.<br /><br />FYI, did a post yesterday on the MU draft as well: http://chilmarkresearch.com/2009/06/16/meaningful-use-draft-is-tough/Johnnysmoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425577121725301407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-27239697779893760292009-06-17T07:25:01.581-07:002009-06-17T07:25:01.581-07:00your blog has helped me tremendously to distill th...your blog has helped me tremendously to distill the volumes of information being generated about "Meaningful Use". my concern is primarily centered on the question of "how will the certification and usability process emanating from MU give IT Health Vendors and Hospitals time to adjust, build and install the certified version of their health system?". Jan 2011 is not that far away for them to be eligible for monies. Anyway I read your blog every day.
