  2. What is Meaningful Use? • The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act • Enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 • Promotes the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology. http://www.recovery.gov/About/Pages/The_Act.aspx

  3. Meaningful Use Stages 3 2 1

  4. Staging Methodology “If there will be a stage 4 of Meaningful Use, we expect to update this table in the rulemaking stage 3” – CMS, Stage 2 NPRM
