Learning Objectives Review and define Stage One/ Stage Two MU Core Measures 6-12 How to capture and collect data for Stage One/Stage Two MU 6-12 Data Review Demonstration: Center for Primary Care Informatics (CPCI) /Arcadia
Phasing of requirements Slide adapted from HIT Policy Committee, Workgroup on Meaningful Use. June 16, 2009
Meaningful Use Criteria (Measures) For Eligible Professionals, there are a total of 25 meaningful use objectives of which 20 must be completed to qualify for an incentive payment. 15 are core objectives that are required, The remaining 5 objectives may be chosen from the list of 10 menu set objectives In the first year, and EP is required only to acquire, implement/upgrade a certified EMR with e-prescribing; Meaningful use criteria reporting is required in Year 2 (90 consecutive days) Meaningful use criteria reporting is required in Year 3 (365 consecutive days)
Core Measures Review 1. Stage 1 Core Measures 7-12 2. Define the objective 3. Review the measurement 4. Discuss where this can be captured in CPS. Stage One 7. Record Vital Signs 8. Record Smoking Status 9. Implement one clinical decision support rule and ability to track compliance with rule. 10. On request provide patients with an electronic copy of their health information 11. Clinical Summaries for patients 12. Implement systems to protect privacy and security of patient data in the EHR
Stage One Measure 7:Vitals Documentation Core Objective Record and chart changes in vital signs: Height Weight Blood pressure (age 3 and over) Calculate and display BMI Plot and display growth charts for patients 0-20 years, including BMI Measure More than 80% of all unique patients seen by the EP have blood pressure (for patients age 3 and over only) and height and weight (for all ages) recorded as structured data
Denominator Denominator/Numerator: Vitals Count 1 for every patient that meets the qualifying age and is seen by the eligible provider. Numerator Of the patients in the denominator, count 1 for every patient for whom all required vitals are recorded at least once in the patient's chart recorded - The required vitals entry date must be on or before the last day of the measure reporting period. required vitals - Includes height, weight, and blood pressure only as specified in the CMS measure.
Measure 7:Vitals
Stage Two Measure 8: Smoking Status Core Objective Record smoking status for patients 13 years old or older Measure More than 80% of all unique patients 13 years old or older seen by the EP have smoking status recorded as structured data
Denominator/Numerator: Smoking Status Denominator Count 1 for every patient that meets the qualifying age and is seen by the eligible provider. Numerator Of the patients in the denominator, count 1 for every patient for whom a smoke status was recorded and signed in the patient's chart using smoke status observation terms with ONC-specified values. recorded - the smoking status entry date is on or before the last day of the measure reporting period. smoke status - searches for the observations Cigaret smkg, SMOK STATUS, smokes, smoking hx, HX CIGARETTE, SMKSTATOVR13.
Measure 8: Smoking Status
Core Objective Stage One Measure 9: Clinical Decision Support Use clinical decision support to improve performance on high-priority health conditions Measure Implement 5 clinical decision support interventions related to 4 or more clinical quality measures, if applicable, at a relevant point in patient care for the entire EHR reporting period.
Measure 9: Clinical Decision Support Providers have considerable flexibility in meeting this measure. They need only attest they are using a clinical decision support rule. For example, anything that provides a notification will be counted, including a pop-up alert that requires a response or an indicator on a form showing an immunization, exam, or test due.
Measure9: Clinical Decision Support Example
Core Objective Stage One Measure 10: Provide copy Electronic On request* provide patients with an electronic copy of their health information Health Information* Measure >50% of requesting patients receive electronic copy within 3 business days
Denominator/Numerator: Electronic Denominator Health Information Count 1 for each recorded qualifying request to which the eligible provider is linked. Numerator Of the qualifying requests in the denominator, count 1 for each request that was fulfilled in the required time frame.
Measure 10: Electronic Health Information
Core Objective Stage One Measure 11: Clinical Summaries Provide patients with clinical summaries Measure Clinical summaries provided for >50% of patients within 3 business days
Denominator Denominator/Numerator: Clinical Summaries Count 1 for every qualifying office visit linked to the eligible provider. Note : for this measure the Patient Encounter (MU) document view is not used to filter documents because it includes more document types than those used for an office visit. For the document to be counted in the denominator, the document needs to be signed AFTER the Clinical Summary has been printed and BEFORE the end of the reporting period. (Workflow dependent) Numerator For qualifying office visits in the denominator, count 1 where at least one qualifying visit summary audit event is logged or if a patient has the qualifying portal access during the required time frame.
Workflow Suggestion: Clinical Summaries Print Handout Important. The handout must be printed BEFORE the chart document is signed, otherwise visit-specific content is not included. The handout must be printed from an IN-PROGRESS update. If you attempt to print the handout outside an update, you cannot include visit information, and you will see MEL errors for some sections. 1. In the application, start an update of any type and document the patient encounter, but do not SIGN the update document. (Clinical List updates, including Problems and Medications, can be signed prior to printing.) 2. In the Chart menu, click Handouts. 3. Find and select the Clinical Visit Summary handout (or *Patient Instructions handout associated with the Patient Instructions-CCC form), and then click Print. 4. Important: The asterisk (*) must precede Patient Instructions in the name of the handout. 5. On the Print Patient Education Handout window, select Record handout printing in Chart before clicking Print. This workflow can be simplified when using handout custom lists and placing the Clinical Visit Summary in the appropriate handout custom list. 6. Give the handout to the patient or mail within 3 business days.
Workflow Suggestion: Clinical Summaries Generate CCD 1. In the application, go the patient s chart and in the main menu click Actions > Generate Chart Summary. 2. Set export, security, and clinical list options. 3. Export to preferred destination.

Measure Validation
Validation Process Select Measure(s) to validate Observe True Performance Generate the Measure(s) Manually Audit their Record Create a list of patients that failed the measure
Step 1: Select Measure(s) Select measure(s) that demonstrate: High Priority Performance Areas Unexplained performance variation or indicate significant gaps in quality of care Be certain to gain clinician buy in
Step 2: Generate the Measure In C-EMR there are two ways to access vendor provided quality measures: C-EMR Quality and Reports Module Reports Icon Quality Icon (these are MQIC Reports which are accessed through C-EMR) MQIC (GE hosted clinical data warehouse) Confirm with CPCI/Azara Note that some of the same measures are available in both modules
Step 3: Generate a List of Failures Identify a list of patients that apparently failed the quality measure(s)
Step 4: Manually Audit the Chart From the Inquiry Window select the patient (double click) Review the chart, particularly to find documentation that actually indicates that the patient met the measure Document your findings from the chart audit on an audit tool Use more than one person to conduct the validation on the same patient list (creates inter-rater reliability)
Step 5: Recalculate Performance Create a table to document performance statistic of each measure based on the two methods (auto generated vs manual review) Compare performance and document reasons for differences Develop an action plan to mitigate the most common reasons Implement the plan Regenerate the measures and compare baseline rates to the newly gathered rates
Measure Wrap Up
Measure Reliability and Validity Reliability is the extent to which a measures accurately and consistently assess the performance of clinician providing care Validity is the extent to which a measure truly measures that which it is intended and designed to measure
Challenges with Reliability & Validity Specificity of measure definitions including exceptions Documentation optimization putting key information in the right field Lack of use of standardized coding Mapping of data from outside sources (eg, lab interfaces) with structured fields in EHR
Tools to Support Measure Implementation Measure specifications EMR/HIT systems data dictionary Access to clinician/user knowledge related to system use and workflows Access to an ad hoc reporting tool Access to an advanced reporting tool Some calculations too complex to run inside EMR, may need a data warehouse
