  9. Clinical Quality Measures – Overview Clinical quality measures (CQMs) are tools that help us measure and track the quality of healthcare services provided by eligible professionals (EPs). These measures are based on a provider’s ability to deliver high-quality care or relate to long term goals for health care quality. CMS selected the recommended core set of CQMs for EPs based on several factors: • Health Outcomes • Clinical Processes • Patient Safety • Efficient use of Healthcare resources • Care Coordination • Patient engagements • Population and Public Health • Clinical Guidelines

  10. CQMs – 2014 and Beyond EPs must report on 9 of the 64 approved CQMs Recommend core CQMs – encouraged but not required • 9 CQMs for the adult population • 9 CQMs for the pediatric population • NQF 0018 strongly encouraged since controlling blood pressure is high priority goal in many national health initiatives.

  14. Now What……

  15. CMS strongly advises that your practice continues to expedite your upgrades and Meaningful Use preparations to meet the 2014 requirements and timelines. Stage 2 of the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs includes several objectives that require information to be shared with another party. Three of these objectives—Clinical Summary, Patient Electronic Access, and Summary of Care—outline specific data elements needed to meet the objective. While some of the data elements are common between these three objectives, other data elements are individual to each objective.

  16. Exchanging Information Electronically Under the Stage 2 core objectives to provide patients the ability to view online, download and transmit their health information, more than 5 percent of patients seen by the EP view, download, or transmit to a third party their health information.

  17. Secure Messaging Under the Stage 2 core objective to use secure electronic messaging to communicate with patients on relevant health information, a secure message must be sent using the electronic messaging function of Certified EHR Technology by more than 5 percent of unique patients seen by an EP during the EHR reporting period.

  18. What if my EMR doesn’t have Secure Messaging Superscripts offers a simple solution where EP’s can sign up and use their messaging service to meet the MU requirement. http://surescripts.com/products-and-services/clinical-network-services/basic-messaging
