1 Meaningful Use 2014: Stage 2 MU Overview Scott A. Jens, OD, FAAO October 16, 2013

2 Overview General Overview of Stage 2 MU in 2014 Core Objectives for Stage 2 Menu Objectives for Stage 2 Complete summary of CQMs for Stage 2

3 Stages of MU Improving patient care through advanced clinical processes Saving money, time, and improving outcomes

4 Overview of Stage 2 Meaningful Use = Use of EHR in a way that positively affects patient care The move to Stage 2 always occurs in the doctor s 3 rd MU year Starts in 2014 for any Eligible Professional who started Stage 1 in 2011 or 2012 Starts in 2015 if Stage 1 was started in 2013

5 Stages of MU First Year With EHR Stage of MU

6 Medicare Incentive Payments First Year With EHR Maximum Incentive Payments (Medicare EP) 75% bonus on ME allowable charges for that year Total 2011 $18,000 $12,000 $8,000 $4,000 $2,000 $44, $18,000 $12,000 $8,000 $4,000 $2,000 $44, $15,000 $12,000 $8,000 $4,000 $39, $12,000 $8,000 $4,000 $24, Penalty Penalty **2% reduction due to sequester must be calculated

7 Medicaid Incentive Payments Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Adopt, Implement, Upgrade $21,250 $8,500 $8,500 $8,500 $8,500 $8,500 Medicaid EPs always begin in Stage 1; the last year of participation is 2016 and payments are made over 6 years

8 2014 Certified 2014 Certification will be required for Stage 2 MU The provider must update to the 2014 Certified version of the EHR product The value of being a RevolutionEHR customer All new versions will be released without any action required by the practice or provider No added cost for upgrades ever Training and support for use of new MU features will occur throughout Q1, plus a new Stage 2 MU INSIGHT page will be available. MAKE PLANS FOR STARTING on !!!

9 Registration Update Must update your EHR Certification Number on the ONC website RevolutionEHR v6.0 and higher, and as more versions are developed/tested/released, the EHR Certification Number will need to be updated as you combine use of versions of the product Reporting Period days in a calendar quarter Will be selecting at your own discretion MEDICAID: may select any 90 day period, not a quarter

10 Attestation Update Attestation for 2014 completed by Feb. 28, 2015 Automation of measure calculation and submission MU data will be automatically submitted CQM data will be automatically submitted

11 Finding Success Recommendation: Familiarize Q1, Attempt Q2 or Q3; leave Q4 as a fallback only if needed Check your MU Scorecard frequently through 90 days: Every 1-3 days for 2 weeks, then weekly at week 3 and 4 If after one month you are mostly on track, check again at week 6 and again at two months After 75 days, begin to check daily to stay on track If you begin to show significant shortcomings, you may need to defer MU to the next quarter

12 Stage 2 MU Objectives 17 Core Objectives Combines a number of Stage 1 Core and Menu objectives 3 out of 6 Menu Items 5 of 6 are new Menu items; one remains from Stage 1 Exclusions are not allowed to pass Menu items CQMs are stand-alone items
