We are all working toward greater understanding of the HITECH Act and the meaning of “Meaningful Use.” On a semi-regular basis, here is a quick list of links that may help you become the Meaningful Use guru at your organization:
HIMSS Resources

http://www.himss.org/EconomicStimulus/deepDive.asp. As the industry reviews the new rules and criteria, lots of excellent and specific questions are being asked by HIMSS members. These “deep dives” delve into the regulations and focus on areas for which HIMSS has received the most questions from the community.
http://www.himss.org/ASP/topics_FocusDynamic.asp?faid=262. These Request for Proposal (RFP) sample documents, produced by HIMSS, are provided as tools for use by a healthcare organization and other healthcare providers in developing its own RFP.
