CMS Releases EHR Incentive Program Stage 2 Rule

August 23, 2012 News 2 Comments

CMS publishes its 672-page Stage 2 Final rule in the Federal Register. A statement from HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius also notes:

Stage 2 will begin as early as 2014. No providers will be required to follow the Stage 2 requirements outlined before 2014.
The announced requirements include certification criteria for the certification of EHR technology.
The certification program has been modified to cut red tape and make the certification process more efficient.
Current “2011 Edition Certified EHR Technology” can be used until 2014.
