Stage 1 Core Objective #10 Changes begin 1/1/2014 • EPs still required to report on Clinical Quality Measures • Considered a general requirement for “Meaningful Use” • Core Objective #10 is removed – requires EPs to “attest,” so considered redundant (already attesting to “Meaningful Use” which includes CQM reporting) • See update to Module #5 on “Clinical Quality Measures” for more detail
Stage 1 Core Objective #12 Changes begin 1/1/2014 • This new Objective and Measure ALSO replaces Menu Objective #5: “Provide patients with timely electronic access to their health information”
