SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Ambulatory surgery centers were not cov-
ered under the provisions of the HITECH Act of 
2009, which created certification standards and in-
centives for adopting electronic health record (EHR) 
technology in the physician office and hospital set-
tings. 
(2) CMS defines a meaningful EHR user as an 
eligible professional having 50 percent or more of 
the professional’s outpatient encounters at practices 
or locations equipped with certified EHR technology. 
(3) Physicians with patient encounters in an 
ambulatory surgical center are at a disadvantage 
when attempting to meet meaningful use require-
ments because there currently is not certified EHR 
technology for such centers. 
(4) Until such time as EHR technology is cer-
tified specifically for use in the ambulatory surgical 
centers, patient encounters that occur in such a cen-
ter should not be used when calculating whether an 
eligible professional meets meaningful use require-
ments, unless an eligible professional elects to in-
clude those encounters.
