The CCD is useless, but printing it and giving to patients or sending to a PHR/flash drive is one of the meaningful use criteria. I printed up a one paragraph letter detailing for the pt. the fact that it is useless and have been giving them out - I append this to the summary letter. If you have a PHR which interfaces or can be used with AC you can send to the PHR which does the same thing without paper.

I am currently working on integrating a patient funded PHR (yearly fee) and have been slowly adding patients to that which has been great for sending the CCD and doing that MU Criteria.
