The March 26 Health IT Standards Committee meeting reviewed the Policy Committee’s Stage 3 recommendations. Led by Standards Task Force chair John Halamka, M.D., the committee covered a range of topics, including patient engagement and care coordination. The committee sought to determine the standards maturity and development effort involved in each measure. In many cases, the committee’s comments criticized the measures as too prescriptive.
The pushback against Stage 3 meaningful use proposals began in earnest Wednesday. Although they approved the measures two weeks ago, many on the Health IT Policy Committee were critical of the measures, saying they would put too great a burden on providers.
