Interesting that the Amazing Charts Users Conference this year is going to be in NOV 2012, rather than in summer. I guess that is because the level 2 for meaningful use (MU) hasn't been nailed down. I did MU medicare in 2011 for $18K and expect 2012 to get $12K. but 2013 with MU Level 2 may be a lot more difficult for $8K. Will have to see what final rules are but I suspect many doctors will not attest for 2013 level 2. As I mentioned before, one of my primary pharmacies is a military base that has no electronic prescribing. currently the bar is set at 40% and I am at 50% but in 2013 would be like 65% and I can't do that due to the military (government) PHARMACY. Maybe I shouldn't even try?
