Stage 2 Meaningful Use NPRM Released
The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for Stage 2 meaningful use was posted to the Office of the Federal Register today. The proposed rule outlines the next stage of meaningful use for the Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs, which are administered by CMS. CMS has developed a fact sheet to give providers an overview of the rule and how Stage 2 expands upon Stage 1 of meaningful use. NRHA Member Louis Wenzlow of RWHC has posted a summary of the NPRM, as well. Comments are due to CMS within 60 days from today, or approximately April 23, 2012.
