The Stage 3 Final Rule for the Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive programs specifies that in order to meet the meaningful use objective for computerized provider order entry (CPOE), any licensed health care provider or a medical staff person who is a credentialed medical assistant or is credentialed to and performs the duties equivalent to a credentialed medical assistant can enter orders in the medical record, per state, local and professional guidelines. The remaining meaningful use objectives do not specify any requirement for who must enter information.
