You do understand that Meaningful Use (MU) is the quintessential "Tryanny of Vagueness" employed by those in a position of power.
To wit: The beautiful tie
An illustration of the Tyranny of Vagueness would be for the government to decree that any time an individual visits another he/she must wear a tie. Simple enough, perhaps, we all know what that means. But no, it's decreed that one must wear a "beautiful tie". Aha, now we have tie makers lobbying, experts expounding, and general groveling to qualify for the definition of "beautiful". So it is with EMR. As physicians we generally know what it takes to deliver the best and most efficient care to our patients and indeed what should be recorded for future relevancy to that patient's care. No, that just won't do. We need a beautiful, er, I mean, a meaningful use EMR which spawns a huge cottage industry of commissions, opinion makers, academics, and political courtesans (sic)
All we want is a damn record which is pertinent and readable.
