Changes include updated smoking status options in the Patient Monitor, Medical History Recorder and Rule Manager. When adding smoking as a habit in the Add Habit or Edit Habit windows, the option in the Category drop-down was changed from Smoker to Smoking Status. The No History of checkbox is removed when adding a smoking status. This ensures proper codes are entered in the Status drop-down.

39 REPORT CHANGES CHAPTER 5 QUALITY AND OBJECTIVE MEASURES Version 7.5 introduces clinical quality and objective measures in MicroMD EMR. These are measures of actions done in the system that refer to patient care, treatment and communication. MicroMD EMR Version 7.5 includes the tools to meet these objectives, calculate them and report them to appropriate agencies if needed. NOTE These measures are used primarily for practices planning to participate in government incentive programs. Contact Henry Schein Medical Systems or visit the HSMS website ( for more information on Meaningful Use criteria and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. NOTE Refer to the MicroMD EMR Version 7.5 Reference Manual for in-depth documentation on how these measures are calculated. Once you have established which measures you want your practice to meet, you can easily see if you are achieving compliance for the quality and objective measures. In the Advanced Reporting section of the Desktop, you can view stated goals for each measure and how close your practice is to reaching them. See page 5.4 for more information on running reports. For example, your practice is trying to stay compliant with the objective measure of keeping an up-to-date problem list for each patient. In the HITECH Measure Calculations Report (Figure 5.1) you can quickly see that the goal for this measure is that more than 80% of patients your practice sees this year have an up-to-date problem list. However, after running the report, you see that only 44% percent of patients have an up-to date problem list. You can then instruct staff that they must check patient problem lists and ensure that they are marked as reviewed in MicroMD EMR. MicroMD EMR Update Guide Version

40 Chapter 5. Report Changes Quality and Objective Measures Figure 5.1 Objective Measures in the HITECH Measure Calculations Report Window MicroMD EMR also includes a new button on the Encounter Ribbon Bar that displays which measures should be met during a patient visit. See page 5.3 for more information on the Quality Measures button. Setting Up Measures for Users If you plan on calculating and reporting quality and objective measures, you need to set user preferences so they can be calculated while in the encounter: Procedure Details 1. Open the User Preferences window (under Tools > User Preferences) 2. Select Quality Measures in the Preference Category section of the window. 3. Move all applicable items from the Available Quality Measures section to the Provider Quality Measures section of the window. The system displays the Quality Measures section. Either drag-and-drop the Quality Measures or use the arrows to move them between the sections. 4. Click Close. 5.2 MicroMD EMR Update Guide Version 7.5

41 Quality and Objective Measures Chapter 5. Report Changes Quality Measures Button The Quality Measures button (Figure 5.2) in the Administration section of the Encounter Ribbon Bar indicates if the patient chart or encounter does not meet the requirements of the selected quality or objective measures. The button is red if you have not met all the measures. Figure 5.2 Quality Measures Button When you click the Quality Measures button, the system displays the Patient Quality Measures window (Figure 5.3). This window displays all measures being calculated during the encounter. The system indicates with a green check mark ( ) which measures have been met. The measures that have not yet been met are marked with a red X ( ). NOTE You can click the Quality Measures button at any time while in an encounter to view the measures that are being calculated. Figure 5.3 Patient Quality Measures Window NOTE While on the Patient Quality Measures window, you can open the Patient Monitor simply by clicking the question mark icon ( ) or by pressing the F3 key on your keyboard. From the Patient Monitor, you can fulfill many of the Quality Measures such as monitoring a patient s smoking status while you still have the encounter open. MicroMD EMR Update Guide Version

42 Chapter 5. Report Changes Quality and Objective Measures Measures Sub-Tab To fulfill some clinical quality measures, users are required to complete certain actions and add them while recording encounters. While on the Plan tab of the Encounter Builder, click the Measures sub-tab (Figure 5.4) to view the actions and codes specific to clinical quality measures. NOTE Refer to the MicroMD EMR Version 7.5 Reference Manual for more information on specific clinical quality measures and what codes must be added while recoding encounters. Figure 5.4 Measures in the Plan Tab NOTE MicroMD EMR includes a Print Measures option when you create a standard encounter report. When enabled, the system includes the codes and descriptions of the actions added to the Measures sub-tab in the Encounter Builder. Running Reports for Clinical Quality Measure and Objective Measures Users with the Administrator or Practice Manage role associated with their account have access to the Administrative Panel and can run reports for objective measures and clinical quality measures. In the Advanced Reporting section (Figure 5.5), there are two options for these reports: HITECH Measure Calculations: This is where users run reports for objective measures Clinical Quality Measures: This is where users run reports for clinical quality measures 5.4 MicroMD EMR Update Guide Version 7.5
