“It’s about time for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology to transition from creating policy to facilitating the implementation of electronic health records, Dr. David Blumenthal told a packed house at the annual Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) convention in Atlanta.
But before that transition begins, some unfinished policy business remains. “Our first task is to finalize three important regulations, which are in one stage or another of proposal. We hope that by the spring, we can launch into our new era,” said Blumenthal, national coordinator for HIT. The three pending regulations are the Certification and Implementation interim final rule, the Meaningful Use notice of proposed rulemaking, and the Certification Process notice of proposed rulemaking.”
