Few U.S. Hospitals Can Fully Share Electronic Medical Records
Lisa Rapaport | Reuters | October 2, 2017
Less than one in three U.S. hospitals can find, send, and receive electronic medical records for patients who receive care somewhere else, a new study suggests. Just 30 percent of hospitals had achieved so-called interoperability as of 2015, the study found.

Halamka Summarizes the CMS Meaningful Use Final Rule
By John D. Halamka, MD | October 20, 2015

Also, MACRA requires the establishment of a Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) which would incorporate Meaningful Use. The comment period will be used in an attempt to align the Meaningful Use program and the MIPS program...Stage 3 is more controversial and I will focus on that.
