Lynn is out partying in New York (otherwise known as the SRSsoft user group meeting), and so I’m going to try and fill in for her today in our continuing series of Meaningful Use Monday posts.
The great thing is that I was recently sent a meaningful use tool that was developed by Stacey Chapman, a consultant at PTS Consulting Group. Here’s a little background on Stacey:
Stacey Marie Chapman is a Principal Consultant with PTS Consulting, having previously worked as an Implementation Consultant, as well as, for eClinicalWorks. Stacey recently worked on curriculum development and instructional content for the ONC sponsored Community College Consortia to Educate Health Information Technology Professionals in Health Care Program through Bronx Community College.
PTS provides customized Electronic Health Record Project Management solutions for engagements of all size and specialty; effectively aligning IT applications with client’s process models, to achieve maximum operational efficiency and overall usability.
So, this Meaningful Use tool is built in excel and goes over all the various meaningful use requirements.(Note: Since it’s an excel file, I suggest you click the download link below since excel files don’t display very well in an embed)
You can see the full screen version of the meaningful use tool here.
Also, we’d love to get more questions you’d like answered on Meaningful Use Monday. If you have any questions or think there’s a topic we haven’t covered on Meaningful Use Monday, let us know in the comments or on our Contact Us page.

Hi Jolene,
Sorry about that. I had uploaded the wrong version of the document. It should be updated now if you want to try and download it. Let me know if you still have issues.
Thanks!
I also cannot access the download or excel file.
I’d love to see it. I am trying to collect all the tools I can.
Leila,

[…] and professional people you can meet. They have some great war stories and you might remember the meaningful use tool they created. If you’re looking for an EMR consultant, they offer a free phone consultation so you can see […]
I have a physician who is in his second reporting year for meaningful use but will be retiring in March 2012. Can I still attest at the end of 2012 for his second year even though he will not be here the entire year?
Jolene,
Good question. We’re checking with CMS to see if we can get a firm answer. Assuming they respond, we’ll likely make the answer into a future Meaningful Use Monday.
Thanks for the great question.
