Meaningful use regulations released for 2015

CMS has released a new rule on the meaningful use of electronic health record (EHR) systems.

The rule added some flexibility to the requirements for reporting in 2014, allowing physicians different options to successfully complete reporting. However, the rule also established onerous requirements for 2015, requiring reporting for the entire year. Under the Meaningful Use program, physicians demonstrate that they are using certified EHR systems in their practice to improve patient care.
