The purpose of this guide is to show you how to document in a meaningful way but does not necessarily mean that each measure will be met simply because you are using a certified product. This guide will address the 15 Core Measures, the 10 Menu Set Measures and NQF reports. For additional information, refer to the Meaningful Use page of our website: Revised 04/06/2012 Page 1
