On June 18, ONC released a final rule on a temporary program designed to help ONC approve organizations to test and certify electronic health records under the 2009 federal economic stimulus package.

Under the stimulus package, health care providers who demonstrate "meaningful use" of certified EHRs will qualify for federal incentive payments (Kraynak, HealthLeaders Media, 6/18).
