Guiding Principles • Support new models of care (e.g., team-based, outcomes-oriented, population management) • Address national health priorities (e.g., NQS, Million Hearts) • Have broad applicability (since MU is a floor) to • provider specialties (e.g., primary care, specialty care) • patient health needs • areas of the country • Promote advancement -- Not "topped out" or not already driven by market forces • Be achievable – e.g. there are mature standards widely adopted or could be widely adopted by 2016 • Reflect reasonableness/feasibility of products or organizational capacity with a preference to having standards available if not widely adopted
