The workgroup met earlier this week and is expected to make its final recommendations to the committee in May. According to Paul Tang, chair of the meaningful use workgroup, public comments on proposed stage 2 meaningful use measures fell into two categories: those who wanted to stick with the current timelines and those who wanted to slow down stage 2 implementation. Several proposals have been made to address the concern of impending deadlines, including raising the threshold of data measures in stage 2 without adding any new measures or delaying the threshold of data measures under stage 1, according to the news report.
