Health Data Management’s Quick Poll is not a scientific survey. But it’s a nice snapshot of the views of HDM readers.


Health Data Management's Quick Poll is not a scientific survey. But it's a nice snapshot of the views of HDM readers.

The current poll finds a majority of respondents preparing for Stage 1 EHR meaningful use have found the criteria to be easier than expected to achieve (9 percent) or at least doable (47 percent). For 36 percent of respondents, the experience thus far shows that meaningful use is not something every aspiring organization will achieve, and 9 percent say the criteria is "unachievable for us, at least for now."

There still are a few days left to vote at healthdatamanagement.com, look for the Quick Poll in the left margin.
