Patients Not Seeing Progress in Meaningful-Use

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) on August 23, 2012  released the final version of its
second-generation criteria for "meaningful use" of
electronic health records (EHRs). This will supposedly make it
easier for physicians to earn bonuses and avoid penalties; however,
little in the final version will benefit patients and their ability
to view online their medical records.
