The 12 projects sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality are designed to produce results by June 2014 that will be taken into consideration during the regulatory process to shape final Stage 3 objectives.

Among the chief complaints lodged against the meaningful use incentive program is the fact that there is little time built into the regulatory schedule for feedback from one stage to inform the development of the next. For instance, as the Health IT Policy Committee members met to discuss Stage 3 options, it was too early for them to get any input from providers on Stage 2 progress.
