  3. Quality Measures for 2013 • Given the time frame required for measure specification, testing and endorsement, it may not be feasible to develop new measures from scratch for 2013. • One option is to identify eMeasures currently in use in health care settings for quality improvement and public reporting purposes that might be candidates for 2013 MU measures.

  4. Quality Measures for 2013 • Limited environmental scan—ask organizations with experience in using eMeasures to: • Identify eMeasures for which HIT tools (e.g., CDS, checklists) play a particularly important role in facilitating rapid improvement. • Identify eMeasures for which HIT alone is not adequate to facilitate improvement, but rather, significant workflow or care process redesign is required.

  5. Participants in environmental scan Cleveland Clinic Aurora Tenet Golden Living Veterans Health Affairs Indian Health Service • Geisinger Health System • Partners Healthcare • Regenstrief / IHIE • Kaiser Permanente • Intermountain Healthcare • Mayo Clinic
