Road to Meaningful Use Stage 2 Allscripts comments on NPRM https://clientconnect.allscripts.com/groups/arrapractices/blog/2012/04/25/allscripts-guidance-for-mu-stage-2-comments 6
Key themes Continuing the drive to value-driven healthcare Raising the bar on most measures Adding new administrative & clinical measures Special emphasis on information exchange Clinical measures Registries Administrative measures Attestation More flexibility and options, including changes for 2013 Special emphasis on penalties, reviews and appeals 7
Summary of Major Provisions Stage 1 Stage 2 EP Measures 15 core, 5 of 10 menu 17 core, 3 of 5 menu EH Measures 14 core, 5 of 10 menu 16 core, 2 of 4 menu EP CQM 6 CQMs out of 46 12 CQMs out of 125 EH CQM 6 CQMs out of 46 24 CQMs out of 49 8
Stage 2 goals from ONC & CMS Expand upon the Stage 1 criteria Encourage the use of Health IT for continuous quality improvement at the point of care Encourage the exchange of information in the most structured format possible Stage 2 MU criteria include rigorous HIEs Demand requirements for eprescribing Incorporate structured laboratory results Electronically transmit patient care summaries to support transitions in care across unaffiliated providers, settings and EHR systems Information follows the patient (Stage 3 also) Nearly every optional Stage 1objective to be required in Stage 2 9
Stage 2 State Flexibility with IR/SS States will have the flexibility with the public health measures in Stage 2 similar to that of Stage 1 True for Medicare and Medicaid participation States may also specify the means of transmission of the data or otherwise change the public health measure 10
Stage 2 Exclusion Criteria Allowances for exclusions would change for both Stages 1 & 2 beginning in 2014 At that point, should focus solely on those objectives they can meet rather than those for which they have exclusion Exclusions just for EPs who are unable to meet certain objectives because of scope of practice New exclusion criteria when necessary for new objectives will be added as needed Almost every menu objective in Stage 2 will be core in Stage 3 11
Stage 2 Multiple Practices/Locations EP must still have 50% or more of outpatient encounters at a practice/location or practices/locations equipped with Certified EHR Technology can be fulfilled in a single or multiple locations. Starting in 2013, will no longer allow the practice of creating a record in one location with no EHR and then later entering information in a practice location with a certified EHR Do not have to include patients in reporting denominators that are seen at practices/locations that are not equipped with Certified EHR Technology as long as the EP clears the 50% threshold described above 12
Stage 2 Denominators Include all patients in the denominators of all of the measures (except those not seen at a location with a certified EHR) Create a uniform set of denominators Proposed denominators for EPs Unique patients seen by the EP during the EHR reporting period (stratified by age or previous office visit) Number of orders (medication, labs, radiology) Office visits, and Transitions of care/referrals. 13

What Measures Should You Be Thinking About? Copyright 2011 Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. 21
Areas of major change CPOE Secured Messaging Patient Access: View, Download, Transmit Transitions of Care Clinical Decision Support 22
CPOE More than 60% of meds, lab, and rad orders created Core by the EP during the reporting period use CPOE # of orders in the denominator recorded using CPOE # of med, rad, and lab orders created by the EP during the reporting period = 60% Exclusion: Any EP who fewer of 100 meds, labs, and radiology orders COMBINED 23
CPOE EP Requirements Further defining CPOE CPOE should be used the first time the order becomes part of the record, before any action can be taken on the order removing the possibility that a record of the order could be created prior to CPOE This means that the originating provider (whose judgment creates the order) must personally use the CPOE function or verbally communicate the order to someone else who will use the CPOE function Provider is responsible for including the orders in their denominators if they are not recorded using CPOE 24
Patient Access Provide patients the ability to view online, download, and transmit their health information within 4 business days of the information being available to the EP Core 2 Report Calculations Report #1 # of patients in the den. who have timely (within 4 business days after the information is available to the EP) online access to their health information online #of unique patients seen by the EP during the reporting period = 65% Exclusion: Next slide 25
Patient Access Core Report #2 # of unique patients (or their authorized representatives) in the den. who have viewed online or downloaded or transmitted to a third party the patient's health information #of unique patients seen by the EP during the reporting period = 10% Exclusion: Any EP who neither orders nor creates any of the information listed for inclusion as part of this measure may exclude both measures. Any EP that conducts 50% or more of his or her patient encounters in a county that does not have 50 percent or more of its housing units with 4Mbps broadband availability according to the latest information available from the FCC on the first day of the reporting period may exclude only the second measure. 26
Patient Access EP Requirements Patients must be able to access this information on demand This includes that patients with disabilities need equal access Its not just about the patient, but also their authorized representatives that can access their health info Patients have to grant access to those representatives with the exception of minors Still uses the same business day logic as in stage 1 Reporting A patient who views their info online, downloads it from the internet, or uses the internet to transmit it to a third party would count for the numerator New exclusions about the counties without high-speed internet 27
Patient Access EP Requirements The following information must be made available within 4 days of the info being available to the EP: Patient name Provider's name and office contact information Problem list Procedures Laboratory test results Medication list Medication allergy list Vital signs (height, weight, blood pressure, BMI, growth charts*) Smoking status Demographic information (preferred language, gender, race, ethnicity, date of birth) Care plan field, including goals* and instructions Any additional known care team members* beyond the referring or transitioning provider and the receiving provider. Provider needs to be able to not send specific information when needed at the provider s discretion 28
Secured Messaging Use secure electronic messaging to communicate with Core patients on relevant health information # of patients in the den. who send a secure electronic message to the EP using the electronic messaging function of CEHRT during the reporting period. # of unique patients seen by the EP during the reporting period = 10% Exclusion: Any EP who has no office visits during the reporting period 29
Secured Messaging EP Requirements Secure Message must contain relevant health info Secure Messaging can occur through: Email with necessary safeguards Patient portals PHR Stand along messaging applications Patient must take action for provider to meet this measure CMS wants comments about behavioral health 30
Transitions of Care (TOC) Calculation EP who transitions their patient to another setting of care or provider of care or refers their patient to another provider of care should provide summary care record for each transition of care or referral Core 2 Report Calculations Report #1 # of TOC and referrals in the denominator where a summary of care record was provided # of TOC and referrals during the reporting period for which the EP was the transferring or referring provider = 65% Exclusion: Any EP who neither transfers a patient to another setting nor refers a patient to another provider during the EHR reporting period is excluded from both measures. 31
Transitions of Care (TOC) Calculation Core Report #2 # of TOC & referrals in the denominator where a summary of care record was electronically transmitted using CEHRT to a recipient with no org affiliation and using a different CEHRT vendor than the sender # of TOC and referrals during the reporting period for which the EP was the transferring or referring provider = 10% Exclusion: Any EP who neither transfers a patient to another setting nor refers a patient to another provider during the EHR reporting period is excluded from both measures. 32
Clinical Decisions Support (CDS) Use clinical decision support to improve Core performance on high-priority health conditions Threshold 5 Clinical Decision Support + DUR Alert Exclusion: None 33
CDS EP Requirements User must use 5 Clinical Decision Support rules and they must be related to 5 or more Quality Measures Related = intent is to improve performance of the Clinical Quality Measure User does not need to show improvement in the Quality Measure. If user doesn't have an applicable CQM, they can choose to do another related to patient care User must have enabled DUR interactions for the entire reporting period 34
CDS EP Requirements Intervention must be done at a relevant point of time in the workflow, before action is taken on the patient ex. create a trigger that prompts the provider to ask about influenza immunization when a patient is 50 years or older. 35
TOC Reporting Considerations Exchange Key Clinical Information from Stage 1 was combined into this measure Combined Maintain Active Med List, Problem List, and Med Allergy list into this measure EP must verify med/prob/allergies and they cannot be blank Denominator If the referral is sent to a provider has access to the system, the referral does not count in the denominator Sending Electronically: USB, CD, Fax does not count 36
TOC Workflow Requirements Summary of Care Document must contain the following (if available on the patient) Patient name Referring or transitioning provider's name and Care plan field, including goals and instructions office contact information (EP only) for various conditions, problems, and issue Procedures Relevant past diagnoses Laboratory test results Vital signs (height, weight, blood pressure, BMI, Care Plan is defined as the management actions Care Plan = Problem (focus) + Goal (Target outcome) + Instructions given to patient Goal is defined as target or measure to be achieved in the process of patient care (expected outcome) An up-to-date problem list of current and active diagnoses growth charts) Smoking status An active medication list Demographic information (preferred language, An active medication allergy list gender, race, ethnicity, date of birth) Any additional known care team members beyond the referring or transitioning provider and the receiving provider 37
Reporting Changes Copyright 2011 Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. 38
Stage 2 Reporting - EPs Report 12 CQMs from a menu of 125 Includes most of the current 44 Must include at least 1 CQM from each of the 6 domains All begin in 2014 for both Stage 1 and Stage 2 Examples of new measures pediatric, obstetric, behavioral/mental health, HIV medical visits, antiretroviral therapy, oral health many geared towards Medicaid providers 39
Stage 2 Reporting - EPs Online submission via XML files May submit as an individual or group Possible aggregation of performance here (!) unlike the batch reporting with the measures, which must remain individual Can only be done beginning in second year of MU Three group options: Different NPIs / one TIN: all members of group must report all CQMs as a group Different NPIs / one TIN, participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program and Pioneer ACO model who use Certified EHR to submit ACO measures: all measures must be extracted by the Certified EHR Medicare EPs who satisfactorily report PQRS CQMs using Certified EHR Technology 40
CQM reporting options (2014) Option 1a: 12 measures, including at least 1 from each of 6 domains (NPRM Table 8) Option 1b: 11 core measures (NPRM Table 6) + 1 menu measure (NPRM Table 8) Option 2: Successfully report through PQRS Must continue to comply with PQRS as it evolves ONC will finalize Option 1a or 1b 41
