But Dr. Rocky D. Bilhartz, an interventional cardiologist in private practice in College Station, Tex., does not believe that the AMA’s recommendations nor other changes to the meaningful use program will make it better.
“I think they’re going about this entirely the wrong way,” said Dr. Bilhartz who blogs at bilhartzmd.com. “Meaningful use should not be delayed, but frankly abandoned. I don’t necessarily believe that the Department of Health & Human Service set out to try to design a system that would impair a physician’s ability to care for patients. I do believe without a doubt, that is exactly what has happened.”
