I found this tentatively reassuring, but have not yet had the opportunity to confirm or research this further. I am glad to hear they are adapting meaningful use to be applicable to component-based products though!

Favorite part has to be the 'HHS certified', as it eliminates one more acronym doctors/practices need to be taught. -Ben It’s nice to see that this is chugging along at a decent pace; our biggest fear was that it would take well into 2010 to get these guidelines written, let alone approved.
