How will CMS move forward with addressing specialties in the regulations?
There are a variety of options CMS has at their disposal to address specialties, such as the use of existing national registries (PQRI, etc.) to report meaningful use. In general, CMS may be unable to realistically implement several of ONC’s recommendations with their existing technology, so we could see modifications to the definition of meaningful use in the regulations to reflect CMS’s reporting and data capture capabilities.
