MU Live! to focus on Stage 2 Rulings

As we enter the dog days of August the entire industry awaits three critical final rules. The Final Rule on delaying ICD-10 is expected to arrive late August/early September. It is anticipated this rule will be followed by the final CMS Stage 2 Meaningful Use and ONC Certification.  The NPRM for Stage 2 Meaningful Use was sent to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) last week, the last step before release and publication.

HITECH Answers popular MU Live! radio show returns August 14, 2 pm Eastern where we will focus almost exclusively on all three of these rulings in the coming weeks and throughout fourth quarter.

We will resume airing with our in-house experts, Jim Tate and Roberta Mullin, discussing these pending rules as well as what’s been happening in the land of meaningful use over the past six weeks.  The show is meant to get  our readers and MU Live! followers up to speed before we dive into the Final Rules that await.
