  2. Module 3, Part 2 Overview • Review of key terms and concepts from Part 1 • Core Objectives and Measures 8 through 15 from the perspective of the Behavioral Health provider

  3. Key Terms/Concepts • Unique patient • Patient seen one or more times, only counted once during the EHR reporting period • Used for arriving at the denominator in many of the measures • Attestation • Some measures require that the EP confirm that certain EHR functionality has been enabled and is in use • Exclusion Rule • Not all measures can be met by every EP, due to different types of practices and patients. These types of measures have an “exclusion” rule that excludes the EP from having to meet that particular Objective. Each application of the exclusion rule reduces the total number of Core Objectives that must be met.

  12. Summary • Each Objective has its own Measure • Determine Objective was attained • Calculate the number of unique patients seen by the EP during the reporting period (denominator), and; • Calculate the number of unique patients who received the service (numerator) • Expressed as a percent • Compared to the Measure requirement • Some Objectives have an “exclusion rule” and some only require that the EP attest that the functionality is in use
