The Committee adopted recommendations on patient-generated health data from its Consumer Empowerment Workgroup, stating that patients’ ability to electronically submit health information should be a part of meaningful use stage 3.

The Committee is still working on methods of submission, which could include structured or semi-structured questionnaires, secure messaging or mobile transmissions.

The Committee’s complete meaningful use stage 3 recommendations are expected February 2014.
