This summer, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) issued final regulations on the definition of “meaningful use” for purposes of health care providers obtaining incentive benefits for use of electronic health records (EHR) pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
