On Tuesday morning, July 13, 2010, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services released the final rule laying out the definition of “meaningful use” of an electronic health record (EHR) system. Medicare and Medi-Cal physicians who demonstrate “meaningful use” of EHRs will qualify for federal EHR incentive payments.
While the rule is final, it has not yet been noticed in the Federal Register. It will take effect 60 days after that notice.
