The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a new proposed rule to align meaningful use Stage 1 and Stage 2 objectives and measures with the long-term proposals for Stage 3.
In an announcement, the federal agency said that the aim is “to build progress toward program milestones, to reduce complexity, and to simplify providers’ reporting. These modifications would allow providers to focus more closely on the advanced use of certified electronic health record (EHR) technology to support health information exchange and quality improvement.”
