How is everyone addressing meeting meaningful use in regards to pathology, when a positive/negative or numeric value is looked at?
Objective:
Incorporate clinical lab test results into EHR as structured data.
Measure:
More than 40 percent of all clinical lab test results ordered by the eligible professional during the EHR reporting period whose results are either in a positive/negative or numerical format are incorporated in certified EHR technology as structured data.
