3 Meaningful Use (MU) Defined Promotes the spread of electronic health records to improve health care and seeks to: Improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health disparities Engage patients and family Improve care coordination, population health, and public health Maintain privacy and security of patient health information Stages move from building a foundation for data capturing and sharing to the use of data to improve health outcomes. Stage 1 : Data Capturing and Sharing o Final Rule Released: July 2010 Incentive program: 2011 Stage 2: Advance Clinical Processes o Final Rule Released: August 2012 Incentive program: 2014 Stage 3: Improved Health Outcomes o Timeline to be determined

17 Stage 2 Changes Beginning in 2014 EHRs Meeting ONC 2014 Standards all EHR Incentive Programs participants will have to adopt CEHRT that meets ONC s Standards & Certification Criteria 2014 Final Rule Reporting Period Reduced to Three Months to allow providers time to adopt 2014 CEHRT and prepare for Stage 2, all participants will have a threemonth reporting period in 2014 Batch Reporting groups will be allowed to submit attestation information for all of their individual EPs in one file for upload to the Attestation System, rather than having each EP individually enter data.

18 Medicaid Changes Stage 2 changes the definition of what constitutes a Medicaid encounter, allowing patients covered by the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to be eligible for inclusion in most states. In Stage 1: Service rendered on any one day where Medicaid paid for all or part of the service or Medicaid paid the co-pays, cost-sharing, or premiums Medicaid patient volume for providers calculated across 90-day period in last calendar year (for EPs) or Federal fiscal year (for hospitals)

19 Medicaid Changes In Stage 2: Service rendered on any one day to a Medicaidenrolled individual, regardless of payment liability Includes zero-pay claims and encounters with patients in CHIP programs in States that have Medicaid expansion programs or in States with a combined Medicaid and CHIP program. Services can be included provider s Medicaid patient volume calculation as long as the services were provided to a beneficiary who is enrolled in Medicaid States have the option to allow providers to calculate Medicaid patient volume across 90-day period in last 12 months preceding provider s attestation

20 States with stand-alone CHIP programs Alabama Arizona Colorado Connecticut Georgia Kansas Mississippi New York Nevada Oregon Pennsylvania Utah Vermont Washington West Virginia Wyoming Texas

21 Definition of Hospital Based Providers EPs can demonstrate that they fund the acquisition, implementation, and maintenance of CEHRT, including supporting hardware and interfaces needed for meaningful use without reimbursement from an eligible hospital or CAH in lieu of using the hospital s CEHRT can be determined non-hospital-based and potentially receive an incentive payment

22 Patient Engagement Requirements for Patient Action: More than 5% of patients must send secure messages to their EP More than 5% of patients must access their health information online CMS is introducing exclusions based on broadband availability in the provider s county.

23 Electronic Information Exchange Providers must: Send a summary of care record for more than 50% of transitions of care and referrals Electronically transmit a summary of care for more than 10% of transitions of care and referrals Additionally, at least one summary of care document must be sent electronically to a recipient with different EHR vendor or to CMS test EHR.

24 Clinical Quality Measures CQM reporting will remain the same through EP CQMs 15 Eligible Hospital and CAH CQMs In 2012 and continued in 2013, there are two reporting methods available for reporting the Stage 1 measures: Attestation ereporting pilots In 2014, EPs must report on 9 of the 64 approved CQMs 9 specific to pediatrics Medicaid providers submit CQMs according to their statebased submission requirements.
