Terminology Requirements For Meaningful Use, Stages 1 Through 3

This chart outlines electronic health record (EHR) requirements in the Meaningful Use program that necessitate consideration for healthcare terminologies. Although the Meaningful Use program is near its end, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will continue to strengthen requirements for documenting, standardizing and sharing data within, and amongst, EHRs through other programs such as Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) payments, the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), Alternative Payment Models (APMs) – including accountable care programs – and others.
