Discussion of How VistA Meets, or Can Meet,
Meaningful Use, Stage 1
45 CFR Part 170
Official document published in the Federal Register
CMS Topical Web Site
Background discussion
- The texts discusses EHR's as being Certified. It is not yet clear how this certification status will be awarded.
- The criteria herein are just for Stage 1 (beginning 2011). Further criteria are likely to be unveiled as the program progresses.
- Stage 2 will begin in 2013; Stage 3 in 2015
- Professionals must bot adopt a certified EHR, but must also demonstrate meaningful use. Thus just have a system capable of the features below will not be sufficient. They must be implemented and used.
