The US government has promulgated requirements for “meaningful use” (MU) of EHRs as a condition for providers receiving financial incentives for the adoption and use of these systems. The following study examines the impact of the MU policy relating to the use of medications and jointly developed recommendations to help inform future HIT policy. A wide range of 35 stakeholders who had experience with MU requirements discussed and agreed upon specific issues and recommendations. Stakeholders felt that MU requirements should be more flexible and recognize that integrated models may achieve information-sharing goals in alternate ways. Future certification rules and requirements should enhance EHR functionalities critical for safer prescribing of medications in children.
