Here are the slides I used.
I was asked an interesting question about the transition from Stage 1 to Stage 2.
The Stage 2 Final Rule notes that as of 2014, any provider or hospital attesting to Stage 1 must use Stage 2 certified technology. Since the capabilities of Stage 2 certified technology are different than Stage 1, the nature of meaningful use changes for those who begin the program late.
The details of the changes to Stage 1 Core and Menu set objectives over time is summarized in this excerpt from the Stage 2 final rule.
A summary table of the effects is below, illustrating that the number of objectives changes as the certified technology changes. I hope you find this useful.
