Healthcare Informatics: Key Takeaway: Nearly 82 percent of hospitals successfully demonstrated meaningful use in 2014, meeting either Stage 1 or Stage 2, data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows. The strong finish by hospitals in 2014 was made possible through a number actions, including an extended attestation period, expanded hardship exception categories, and the ability for some to repeat Stage 1 if they had trouble obtaining 2014 Edition Certified EHR Technology (CEHRT). Roughly 30 percent of hospitals meant to demonstrate Stage 2 repeated another year at Stage 1; indicating moderate use of new flexibilities offered by CMS through mid-year changes to the program.
