4 HTS is a division of Mountain Pacific Quality Health Foundation. We are the Regional Extension Center (REC) for MT/WY. We assist healthcare facilities with utilizing Health Information Technology (HIT) to improve health care, quality, efficiency and outcomes. Our staff has expertise in HIT, Meaningful Use, PQRS, PCMH, Project Management, LEAN, HIPAA Privacy and Security Consulting as well as Health Information Exchange. 4

5 The Office of the National Coordinator created the Regional Extension Centers (REC) to serve as a support resource to assist Eligible Providers and Eligible Hospitals with EHR implementation and Health Information Technology needs. RECs "bridge the technology gap" and help navigate the EHR adoption process from vendor selection and workflow analysis to implementation and meaningful use attestation. 5

6 The maximum incentive payment amount for Eligible Professionals in the Medicare EHR program is now $43,720 over five years due to sequestration. The maximum incentive for EPs in the Medicaid EHR program is $63,750 over six years. Hospitals can receive incentive payments from both programs if they meet eligibility requirements. Providers and Hospitals must continue to demonstrate meaningful use each year to avoid the payment adjustments from Medicare. There are no payment adjustments from Medicaid. 6

8 Incentive payments for eligible professionals are based on individual practitioners. If you are part of a practice, each eligible professional may qualify for an incentive payment if each eligible professional successfully demonstrates meaningful use of certified EHR technology. Each eligible professional is only eligible for one incentive payment per year, regardless of how many practices or locations at which he or she provides services. Hospital-based eligible professionals are not eligible for incentive payments. An eligible professional is considered hospital-based if 90% or more of his or her services are performed in a hospital inpatient (Place Of Service code 21) or emergency room (Place Of Service code 23) setting. 8

9 Medicare EHR incentive payments made are subject to the mandatory reductions in federal spending known as sequestration. This 2% reduction will be applied to any Medicare EHR incentive payment for a reporting period that ends on or after April 1, Incentive amounts decrease dramatically in 2014 ** CMS has announced it s intent to extend Stage 2 through 2016 and start Stage 3 in

54 Differences Stage 1 or Stage 2 Hospital or Provider Core Measure Sample: Numerator/Denominator Y/N 54

55 Patient Records: At the eligible hospital s or provider s discretion, the numerators and denominators of certain measures may be calculated using only the patient records maintained in certified EHR technology. The eligible hospital or provider may also elect to calculate the numerators and denominators of these measures using ALL patient records. Eligible hospitals or providers must indicate which method they used in their calculations. 55

56 Exclusion: Eligible hospitals or providers can be excluded from meeting an objective if they meet the requirements of the exclusion. If the eligible hospital or provider cannot meet the specific exclusion requirements, then they cannot answer Yes to the exclusion question. (If no exclusion is indicated, the eligible hospital or provider must report on that measure.) 56

57 For Stage 1 MU Reporting: Two Core Measures require no input rather you just click on Save and Continue. Clinical Quality Measure Reporting (10 of 15 for Provider Measures) Capability to Exchange Clinical Information (14 of 15 for Provider Measures) 57

58 Know how the client s EHR is reporting these measures; CPOE choose which one the data represents: More than 30 percent of all unique patients with at least one medication in their medication list seen by the EP have at least one medication order entered using CPOE. Optional Alternate: More than 30 percent of medication orders created by the EP during the EHR reporting period are recorded using CPOE. Vital Signs choose which one the data represents: For more than 50 percent of all unique patients age 2 and over seen by the EP, height, weight, and blood pressure are recorded as structured data.

71 EPs tail period is from January 01 to March 31. However, we would prefer ALL of their paperwork be submitted prior to March 15 to allow for any corrections of incomplete packages. If they were to wait until the 31st March deadline and something was not correct, they could quite possibly lose that attestation. EHs run on FFY; so their 'tail period' runs until 31st December, Again, we prefer they have all materials submitted prior to 15th December to allow time for corrections. Hospital deadline already Passed. From WY HIT Coordinator 71
