HDM Reports on “Go Slow” Comments to ONC
Joseph Goedert of HealthData Management reported on June 29, 2009, that while 80 physician organizations, including the AMA, support the federal EHR initiative, they submitted comments on “Meaningful Use” that “We are concerned, however, that the committee’s timeline to meet the proposed measures is too aggressive given that we continue to lack the necessary infrastructure, standards and systems.”  The recommendations point out specialties for which no certified EHR products are on market: “e.g., oncologists, dermatologists, opthalmologists, obstetricians.” Recommendations also note major transitions to HIPPA Version 5010 by January 1, 2012, and  ICD-10 codes by Otober 1, 2013.
Here are the recommendations these organizations submitted(pdf).
