The second draft of the Inpatient criteria and the first draft of the Inpatient Test Scripts for 2008 are the cumulative work of work groups and expert panels. This is the second draft of the 2008 criteria which will be finalized in May 2008. The criteria will be further refined and published as a final draft prior to the final certification criteria for 2008 being released.

During the draft criteria development efforts, the work group focused on:

• Reviewing and updating existing 2007 criteria
• Updating previously published roadmap criteria
• Developing recommendations for new criteria for 2008, 2009, and 2010 and beyond

The public comment period is open.
