and Interim Final Rule (IFR)
which outlines the initial set of standards,
implementation specifications, and certification
for demonstrating meaningful use. However, we
have posted our MAGIC and Client/Server Product Road
Maps, which we will continue to expand in the
weeks ahead.

MEDITECH is reviewing the new definition of
Meaningful Use and the associated Interim Final
Rule for Meaningful Use standards, implementation
specifications, and certification criteria. Our
initial reading shows no real surprises, but
there are some new requirements outlined in the
documents. These include: clearer definitions for
eligible hospitals and providers, a 90 day live
period for 10% utilization of CPOE, the
rescheduling of order sets from 2013 to 2011,
five clinical decision support rules in 2011
instead of one, specified vocabularies and
interoperability protocols, as well as extended
outcome reporting measures and self-attestation
statements of Meaningful Use measurement criteria
just to highlight a few.

Additionally, we have

Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, and will help
you better prepare for the path the federal
government has set forth. We will continue to
update this page as new resources are produced.
