Discussion of How VistA Meets, or Can Meet,
Meaningful Use, Stage 1
45 CFR Part 170

Official document published in the Federal Register

CMS Topical Web Site

Contents

Background discussion

  • The texts discusses EHR's as being Certified. It is not yet clear how this certification status will be awarded.
  • The criteria herein are just for Stage 1 (beginning 2011). Further criteria are likely to be unveiled as the program progresses.
  • Stage 2 will begin in 2013; Stage 3 in 2015
  • Professionals must not only adopt/install a certified EHR, but must also demonstrate meaningful use. Thus just have a system capable of the features below will not be sufficient. They must be implemented and used.

All-in-one vs. Composite systems

Details from 45 CFR Part 170 describe the ability of a eligible system to be constructed from modules, and thus VistA doesn't have to meet all of the meaningful use criteria by itself.
