The HIT Standards Committee is reminding stakeholders that the deadline is June 17 to comment on the temporary electronic health records certification program being used to support Stage 1 of the meaningful use program.

The committee's implementation workgroup is looking for industry feedback on how the temporary program was established and has operated.
