Practices should discuss meaningful use with their EHR vendor and determine if they are a certified vendor (CEHRT). Start with focusing on these six specific areas to respond to software changes:
1. patient health information security: risk analysis/security updates
2. computerized physician order entry and e-prescribing
3. CEHRT for patient data and

4. patient-centric engagement (education, communication, and access)
5. medication

“Starting early and with a specific plan, along with tapping CMS resources and partnering with appropriate EHR vendors, will drive successful change and adoption of Stage 3 meaningful use,” according to the AUA.
