KHIE issues June Newsletter
The Kentucky Health Information Exchange (KHIE) has issued its June 2014 Newsletter, The KHIE Connection. This month's issue includes a summary of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) that, if finalized, would allow providers to meet Stage 1 or Stage 2 Meaningful Use with electronic health records (EHRs) that are certified to HHS ONC's 2011 or 2014 Edition criteria or a combination of both Editions. Comments to the NPRM must be received by July 21, 2014. The newsletter also addresses Medicare's scheduled payment adjustments for 2015 that will impact eligible hospitals and providers who do not timelyattest to Meaningful Use of certified EHRs. Guidance on attesting to Meaningful Use also is included.
