According to CHIME, meaningful use measures and objectives for stage 2 should reflect the capabilities and experiences of hospitals and physicians to handle the scope of stage 1 before any measures for the second stage are codified.
Delaying the move to stage 2 also would give federal agencies more time to develop clear policies, which would give providers and vendors the clear guidance that they need to implement clinical systems, meet meaningful use objectives and qualify for stimulus funding, CHIME says.
