The 2014 Edition S&CC final rule completes the Office of the
National Coordinator for Health Information Technology’s (ONC) second
full rulemaking cycle to adopt standards, implementation specifications,
and certification criteria for EHR technology. This final rule
complements the newly released Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) final rule which establishes Stage 2 of the Medicare and
Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs, updates
Stage 1, and includes other program modifications.
The 2014 Edition S&CC final rule reflects ONC’s commitment to
reduce regulatory burden; promote patient safety and patient engagement;
enhance EHR technology’s interoperability, electronic health
information exchange capacity, public health reporting, and security;
enable clinical quality measure data capture, calculation, and
electronic submission to CMS or states; and introduce greater
transparency and efficiency to the certification process.
