The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions is pushing for the delay of meaningful use Stage 3, according to a Health Data Management report.
HELP Committee Chairman Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) met with HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell and broached the subject, according to the report.
Sen. Alexander expressed hope that healthcare would not "go backwards on EHRs," but discussed the possibility of delaying MU3 to ensure the process goes smoothly.
