On August 23, 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final rule on the Stage 2 Meaningful Use criteria that eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) must meet to qualify as meaningful users of electronic health records (EHRs) and receive incentive payments under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. This final rule builds upon the Stage 2 proposed rule, released on March 7, 2012. Participating providers must begin following Stage 2 requirements two years after the implementation of Stage 1 to receive payments.
