After considerable discussion, the committee for EHR meaningful use has been asked to develop a new set of criteria by July 16th. Ultimately, "CMS will be the final word on meaningful use and how it applies to incentives..."
This is interesting news since the workgroup had provided its recommendations and its criteria on the same day. It would be interesting to learn "what was missing" from the initial set of criteria.
