How Much is All of This Going To
Cost?
• CMS estimates of EPs and EHs
– 477,500 eligible as Medicare EP
• 95,500 of these eligible as Medicaid EP
– 44,100 eligible as Medicaid-only EP
– 5,011 EHs
•
•
•
•
3,620 acute care
1,302 CAH
78 children’s
11 cancer
• Estimated achievement of MU in ten years
– Low – 95.6% of EHs and 36% of EPs
– High – 100% of EHs and 70% of EPs
• Total cost: $9.7B (low) to $27.4B (high)

Beyond Stage 1
• Much speculation around what rules will be for Stage 2 (and Stage
3)
• Another challenge is wide variety of other requirements healthcare
organizations must undertake in next few years, such as 5010
standards for transactions, ICD-10 coding, and healthcare reform
• ONC HIT Policy Committee submitted recommendations in four
basic categories for changes in measures from Stage 1 to Stage 2
(Drazen, 2011)
– Measures unchanged
– Unchanged menu measures become core
– Increased threshold or wider scope – e.g., increased proportion
of CPOE, decision support rules, etc.
– New measures – including focus on usability (Classen, 2011)
and/or patient experience (Ralston, 2010)
