New This Week on HealthIT.gov

You spoke, and we listened. This week we launched some new features and resources to make healthit.gov easier to navigate. We want to thank you for your support and feedback.

Federal Advisory Committees (FACAs): Meeting materials and a recording of the Health IT Standards Committee meeting held Wednesday, Sept. 19, are now available at http://www.healthit.gov/policy-researchers-implementers/hit-standards-committee-1. Visit our FACAs page to stay abreast with FACAs meeting dates and news. We have updated the calendar to combine both Health IT Policy and Standards committees and workgroups meeting dates based on your feedback and suggestions. You can more quickly select meetings from the FACAs Calendar and access meeting materials.

National Learning Consortium: The National Learning Consortium (NLC), in partnership with HealthIT.gov, regularly publishes information and resources from the field from ONC's grant programs to help providers and professionals throughout the EHR implementation lifecycle and to achieve meaningful use.

See the recently published Meaningful Use Case Studies, which detail the experiences of providers across the country on their journeys to achieve meaningful use. Each case study focuses on a subset of the Stage 1 Meaningful Use requirements and includes key challenges and lessons learned. They also highlight collaborations with the Regional Extension Centers. To view other NLC resources, visit the EHR implementation lifecycle steps.

Standards Hub: To make it easier for the public and EHR technology developers to find and access all of the standards referenced by the 2014 Edition EHR certification criteria, ONC has now made available a new resource, “the Standards Hub.” The Standards Hub identifies and provides hyperlinks to all of the standards referenced by the certification criteria adopted in the 2014 Edition Standards and Certification Criteria final rule.

The Standards Hub can be accessed at http://www.healthit.gov/policy-researchers-implementers/meaningful-use-stage-2-0/standards-hub. For more information on the 2014 Edition EHR Certification criteria, visit http://www.healthit.gov/policy-researchers-implementers/meaningful-use-stage-2-0.
