“Last week, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) released criteria that will be used to certify EHRs as appropriate support tools for providers who want to qualify for Bonanza Days.
The criteria are subject to a 60-day comment period before being finalized.
I congratulate ONC on its elegant piece of rule making. Its so-called Interim Final Rule (IFR) provides a foundation that can support years of progress in health care IT. Someday, it will probably be recognized as the most important quality-enhancing, cost-reducing initiative ever launched by the Feds in health care.”
