Meaningful Use Draft Regulation

 

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released in January a Meaningful Use Draft Regulation - a notice of proposed rulemaking that states the manner in which healthcare providers can demonstrate meaningful use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to qualify for federal incentive payments.

As a follow-up, the American Hospital Association issued a Regulatory Advisory on January 29 which provides an overview of the Meaningful Use Rule, as well as an analysis of the possible impacts of the regulation.

 

Open For Comment

The Meaningful Use Draft Regulation is open for comment through March 15, 2010. AHRMM is encouraging supply chain and materials management professionals to share their comments on the Meaningful Use Rule through the Health Information Technology section of the Department of Health and Human Services Web site.
