Donna & Adam my thanks for your comments. It affirms my Pratice Adminsitrators (PAD) current opinion that in spite of the many hurdles we suspect we will face (as a laregly Facility and not office based practice) we need to set our workplan into gear for stage 1 this year...
Question regarding Stage II and III, if one participates in stage I but finds over time the following stage requirments are either so onerous or time consuming that the practice cannot support it, are there punitive measures or clawbacks of stage I monies......? I ask based on our challenge even with stage I MU CQM that we effectivly will be recontructing our chart based on external data derived from outside facility systems, charts etc....we may be faced with obstacles that make stage II and III prohibitive.

Adam.BTW...I do like your signature saying. Having gone to RCSI I can appreciate the importance of a pint.
