Have you heard? They Published the Meaningful Use Definition

Just in case you haven’t been able to find it one of the other dozens of sites publishing the link here is the HITECH: Initial Set of Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification Criteria for EHR Technology and here’s how you get paid (warning 556 pages).

Mr. HISTalk summarized the finer or most relevant points here. And over at HealthcareITNews.com “Stakeholders have mixed reviews on proposed requirements” while Government HealthIT profiles groups that aren’t happy with the definition.  

We all knew it’d be a mixed bag right? What do you think of the proposal? Have you (are you) going to read it or will you just look for an effective summary? Let us know what your thoughts and questions are in the comment section.
