I appreciate the hard work of the AC team for jumping through the hurdles at CCHIT. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC)just set their own standard in July. The recommendations were sent over to CMS that will finalize the rules and regulations for physician offices to follow in order to get bolus and decrease future cut of reimbursement. You can find the ONC recommendations for both hospitals and physician offices at:

These new standards are not easy to achieve. I think Jon and the AC have start looking into these already.
