Bottom line meaning of "meaningful use"
For the patient----nothing (0)---your physician was probably already doing any of the quality measures that count anyway
For the physician----nothing (0), other than it increases time spent on non-patient care, so it probably reduces direct patient care hours
For the bureaucrats----EVERYTHING (10+). This is exactly the type of crap they live for. The outcomes do not matter to them, it is the process of fulfilling "regulation" that is the essence of their existence
