What are the MU Measures: Stage 1 • Core Measures Examples • Maintain an up-to-date problem list of current and active diagnosis • Record demographics • Menu Set Measures Examples • Incorporate clinical lab-test results into EHR as structured data. • Generate patient list by specific conditions to use for quality improvements, reduction of disparities, research, or outreach • All Clinical Quality Measures • Breast Cancer Screenings (US Department of Health & Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Policy) (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services)
