New requirement documenting vitals?

We were just informed that it is a new requirement that we record vitals, including height on every visit. We are a surgeon's office and typically only record height and weight for new patients or new problems, bp more often. We are currently documenting based on the 1997 ROS rules. I cannot find any literature supporting this change other than the meaningful use requirements. Any insight?

It's gotta be Meaningful Use

Height Weight BP and calculate BMI are all required to get paid for meaningful use. That is the latest "requirement standard" that I have heard. Who "informed" you? Perhaps that person can give you a reference if not meaningful use.
