Our Observations
- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) affirms a delay for
2011 attesters
- Stage 1 requirements will be updated come 2013 (KMH and POMH)
- Medicaid definitions are loosened; more providers are eligible
- While the total number of objectives does not grow, Stage 2 measure
complexity increases significantly
- Information exchange will be key, but a health information exchange
(HIE) will not be necessary.
- Patients will need to act for providers to succeed
- Sharing of health data will force real-time, high-quality data capture
- More quality measures; CMS’ long term goals—electronic reporting
and alignment with other reporting programs—remain intact.
- The Office of the National Coordinator’s (ONC) sister rule proposes a
more flexible certification process and greater utilization of standards
- Payment adjustments begin in 2015
