THE Consortium has released draft comments on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Electronic Health Records Incentive Programs Proposed Rule, and welcomes feedback from our constituents. The comments were formulated based on our extensive study of the rule, and feedback from our stakeholders and national partners who represent a diverse community of providers including Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) and their provider-based Rural Health Clinics (RHC), Independent Free-standing RHCs, and Community-Funded Safety Net Clinics (CSNCs) in rural and urban areas. Please contact Cari Fouts, cf@coruralhealth.org with additional comments by March 14, 2010.
