CEO SUMMARY: EHR system vendors must now comply with the federal government's Meaningful Use Stage 2 requirements. Well-established EHR vendors will survive.

These developments mean many physicians may need to find new EHR vendors. In turn, that will require clinical labs to build new interfaces to these physicians' EHRs.
