23 Certification Change All EHR Incentive Programs participants must adopt certified EHR technology that meets the Standards & Certification Criteria of the 2014 Final Rule.

29 2014 Clinical Quality Measures Must report using the new 2014 criteria Must report on 9 out of 64 measures Recommended Core Quality Measures are encouraged but not required 9 for Adult 9 for Pediatrics Selected CQMs must cover at least 3 of the National Quality Strategy domains Measures & Domains on CHCANYS website: ry=health%20care%20reform 7/24/

30 Core Quality Measures Rationale CMS selected the recommended core set of CQMs for EPs based on analysis of several factors: Conditions that contribute to the morbidity and mortality of the most Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries Conditions that represent national public health priorities Conditions that are common to health disparities Conditions that disproportionately drive healthcare costs and could improve with better quality measurement Measures that would enable CMS, States, and the provider community to measure quality of care in new dimensions, with a stronger focus on parsimonious measurement Measures that include patient and/or caregiver engagement 7/24/
