This one seems out of nowhere, and I wonder why CMS wouldn't simply send this to those who participate in Medicare.
I certainly agree with the users above. Everything that the government has done has added little benefit to physicians and added tons of paperwork and useless time. I doubt that this will improve healthcare. And, more importantly, all of the alphabet soup that the government has crammed down our throats such as CCHIT, Meaningless Use, MACRA, MIPS, etc. have costs the EMRs money and costs the users of those EMRs a much longer wait for the EMR to be upgraded. EMR companies have no choice but to upgrade and change their EMRs, at the expensve of much money and wasted time, so that their EMRs can be certified for the garbage. If they don't, they can't sell them.
