John,
Since Meaningful use is associated with Medicare patients. Has anybody used their old system (which works well) and only charted Medicare patients in AC? This would make it easier to make any adjustments and slowly get the kinks out and add other patients.
Peter,
This is a reasonable way to gradually change-over to AC, if you would prefer to make the process a gradual one. Keep in mind that to receive the MU incentive, you are supposed to report on ALL of your patients, not just those in the EMR. I am not trying to be overly cautious; I just want to be sure you are aware of this. While CMS may not be likely to check on it, if they decided to audit your attestation, they could see fairly easily if you were following this rule or not.
