However, under Medicaid, midlevel providers could be eligible for payments if practicing in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) or Rural Health Clinics (RHCs). Unfortunately, I have not found any indication that physical therapists will be eligible for incentive payments.

Does this mean that 92% of all the EMR systems on the market are garbage? " There are many EMR vendors who still maintain "Active Certification" status that received CCHIT certifications in 2006 and 2007 that did not need to recertify under the 2008 criteria. Also, the application window for the currecnt CCHIT criteria (2008) is still open and quite possible there are dozens of vendors the certification process pipeline.
