Progress and performance among Eligible Professionals in the first 3 years of the EHR Incentive Program
- Who achieved meaningful use in first 3 years?- Who is achieving meaningful use year-over-year?- How does performance on meaningful use objectives
vary?

Attested MU AIU onlyRegistered EHR Incentive Program Enrolled RECNot participating
Note: Categories are hierarchical and mutually exclusive. For example, a professional that has attested to meaningful use and received an AIU payment and is enrolled with an REC is counted only in the Attested MU category. MU is meaningful use. AIU is adopt/implement/upgrade to certified EHR technology. REC is Regional Extension Center.
Variation in Meaningful Use attainmentby physician age, specialty, group size
4Note: Physician specialty and age are from the CMS EHR Incentive Programs and the 2011 American Medical Association Masterfile. Group size is the number of providers counted under the same billing ID in the 2013 PECOS dataset. All physician data were merged via NPI to the CMS EHR Incentive Program data through April, 2014.
