Since this Board is on the leading edge of EMR commentary on the internet, I'd like to propose selecting a uniform derogatory term for "Meaningful Use" (MU), so that visitors to the Board might immediately understand the sarcasm implied.

In an earlier post, Bert referred to this concept as "Unmeaningful Use". Although this meets the sarcasm level required, it can't be abbreviated as "MU".

I propose two obvious terms: "Meaningless Use" and Meaningful Uselessness". Any other entries?

I think it would be appropriate if Jon, our Board sarcasm guru and lover of orange birds, chose the winner.

I am glad you made Jon (who also needs to change his name) the judge as he would win in less than a minute.

Don't forget to get Paul involved, lol.

There is of course: Medically Unstable

Why do I get the idea that this will be a long thread?

It is taking a lot of time for sure.

My thinking: Give them what they want- those check box MT fields
Take that what they give- the MUlah
Maybe hire that new staff - MA- to do all this
Something to talk about in MEetings
Not to have regrets down the line that I did not do it
