How should I help my physicians select menu objectives for the Meaningful Use Incentive Programs?

EPs are required to report on a total of five Meaningful Use objectives from the menu set. Of the five menu objectives, EPs must choose at least one option from the public health menu set. The general recommendation is that if an EP is able to meet the measure of one of the public health menu objectives but can be excluded from the other, the EP should select and report on the public health menu objective they are able to meet. CMS further clarifies with the following statement:

"If an EP can be excluded from both public health menu objectives, the EP should claim an exclusion from only one public health objective and report on four additional menu objectives from outside the public health menu set."
