Why is ONC focused on primary care in their recommendations?
The HIT Policy Committee made the decision to prioritize primary care given the short timetable mandated by ARRA. The intent of the committee was to revisit the issue of meaningful use for specialties in October and in the future. Currently, the HIT Policy Committee is exploring “tagging” or “mapping” certain meaningful use criteria to specific specialties for 2011, and then adding new criteria for specialties in the 2013 and 2015 iterations of meaningful use. The ACR looks forward to working with them on this activity.
