For instance, the beginner level of meaningful use introduces the Medicare and Medicaid EHR programs with checklists for each. The intermediate level includes a special guide on Stage 2 for eligible professionals, a security risk analysis tip sheet, and an overview of audits and payment adjustments. The advanced level offers a Stage 2 data sharing tip sheet.
