WHAT STAGE 2 MEANS TO YOU
With Stage 2 the focus of Meaningful Use shifts from data capture to usability
● New Criteria
– Starting in 2014, providers participating in the EHR Incentive Programs who have met Stage 1 two or more
years will need to meet Stage 2 criteria
● Improving Patient Care
– Stage 2 includes new objectives to improve patient care through better clinical decision support, care
coordination and patient engagement
● Interoperability
– There is a greater emphasis on interoperability and patient engagement, with the latter requiring action on
the patient’s end in order for the objective to be met
