AMA commends CMS for proposed modifications to meaningful use

The American Medical Association (AMA) today supported a number of changes to Meaningful Use proposed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that could help more physicians successfully participate in the program over the next two years and called for the administration to finalize the new rule as soon as possible. 

The AMA has been advocating for more flexibility in the Meaningful Use program since its inception to allow more physicians to integrate technologies into their practices in a manner that is meaningful to them and their patients.
