AMA: Meaningful Use is still broken

"The American Medical Association (AMA) is alarmed by yesterday's announcement that more than three quarters of eligible professionals have still been unable to attest to Meaningful Use.

"The program's one-size-fits-all approach, that has not been proven to improve quality, has made it difficult for physicians to take part. The penalties physicians are facing as a result of the Meaningful Use program undermine the program's goals and take valuable resources away from physician practices that could be spent investing in better and additional technologies and moving to alternative models of care that could improve quality and lower costs.
