The Stage 2 Meaningful Use specification sheets are now available for both eligible professionals (EPs) and eligible hospitals and critical-access hospitals (CAHs) to help them participate in the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs.

The new specification sheets can be found on the Stage 2 page of the EHR website.
