50 What is NPRM? A Notice of Proposed Rule Making is a federal procedure that agencies use to announce changes to agency rules (CMS in this case) and to allow, typically, a 60 day comment period follow by a 30 day response period after which time the changes are adopted in their proposed form or modified based on public comment. Announced May 20, 2014 Public comment period: May 23-July 22, 2014

53 NPRM provides relief for those who may not be able to achieve Stage 2 if you are struggling with: Transitions of Care / Summary of Care document...or related HIE exchange of the summary of care Patient Portal issues...especially 5% of patients viewing / downloading /transmitting their information CPOE: added labs and radiology orders

54 NPRM Some important considerations: NPRM does NOT provide relief based on budgetary/ monetary/affordability issues surrounding 2014 CEHRT Medicaid ONLY: You must Adopt, Implement or Upgrade to a 2014 CEHRT if you are starting the MU program in It is NOT acceptable to do AIU in 2014 using 2011 Edition CEHRT Remember: Jan. 1, 2015 is the first day when you must be up and running with 2014 Edition CEHRT Must attest that you are unable to fully implement 2014 Edition CEHRT because of issues related to 2014 Edition CEHRT availability delays when they attest to the meaningful use objectives and measures.
