Stage 1 Meaningful Use Summary
To qualify for incentives, grants, or funding, users
must demonstrate meaningful use of the EHR system.
• Focus is deployment/adoption of
Advanced Clinical Systems
• Electronic exchange of information
• Report on Meaningful Use Metrics
and Clinical Quality Measures
• Complete EHR or EHR Modules must
be "certified"

Review of Systems
Why New Releases ?
Increased Standardization with Nomenclature
• Increased use of SNOMED-CT For Problem List
• Mapping to Tests and Results: LOINC and SNOMED
• SNOMED-CT for Nursing Terms, Orders
• Standards for Medications, Allergies and Reactions
Improvements to mapping standards
Review of Systems
Why New Releases?
Improvements to Usability
• Enhanced Problem List Functionality
• Improved Workflow for Medication Reconciliation
• Patient and Clinician Discharge Processes
• Robust CCD Enhancements
• Ambulatory Checkout Process
• Ambulatory Patient Education
Increasing Clinician and
Physician User Satisfaction
Chronic Conditions of Stage 1 Continue
Chronic Conditions Stage 1
Computerized Provider Order Entry
• Physician Adoption Historically is Slow
• CMS Interpretations:
• Licensed Professional
• Must use CDS at time of order entry
• Requiring only 1 Med - raises patient
safety issues and disjointed care
• Acute, ED or Both calculation
MEDITECH certified CPOE solution resides within PCM and EDM for
Acute and AOM/RXM for Ambulatory providers.
Chronic Conditions Stage 1
Reporting Requirements: Eligible Hospitals
Utilization of Your EHR
• EHR Utilization Metrics (i.e. 30% CPOE utilization)
• 14 Required Functional Measures and 10 Menu Items
• Utilization Reports are NPR and Report Designer for 90
days reporting
• Longer reporting period (365 days) may require
Data Repository for increased data retention
Chronic Conditions Stage 1
Reporting Requirements: Eligible Hospitals
Clinical Quality Measures - The Big Gotcha!!
15 Quality Measures for Stage 1:
• ED Throughput
• Stroke
• VTE
• Clinical Quality Measure Reports calculated from Data Repository
• DR customers receive Quality Measures Report SQL Templates
• For 2011 and 2012 - CMS requires attestation only – capability of your
certified EHR to report the measures
• Performance and Outcomes are not measured
Chronic Conditions Stage 1
Reporting Requirements: Eligible Professionals
Utilization of Your EHR
•EHR Utilization Metrics (i.e. 30% CPOE utilization)
•15 Required Core Measures and 10 Menu Items
•Standard System Utilization Reports
provided for Core and Menu set items
Chronic Conditions Stage 1
Reporting Requirements: Eligible Professionals
Clinical Quality Measures - The Big Gotcha!!
•44 Clinical Quality Measures for Stage 1
•3 Core/3 Alternate Core Measures
•3 Additional Measures
• Use of MPM Clinical Reporting tool for quality reporting
• For 2011 and 2012 - CMS requires attestation only – capability of your
certified EHR to report the measures
• Performance and Outcomes are not measured
Chronic Conditions Stage 1
Clinical Quality Reports …
… became as big an impact as CPOE !
• Required vocabularies not used widely in EHRs:
(SNOMED CT, RxNorm, CVX)
• Over 500 data elements in the 15 measures
• Data capture must be in discrete fields
• Impact on workflow for clinicians
• Specification was incomplete and not maintained
• Review of Best Practices is Critical
Chronic Conditions Stage 1
Interoperability Requirements
Stage 1 - Just A Test! But with Whom?
Infrastructure lacking - exchange standards not defined
•CCD: Capability to exchange key clinical information among
providers - regardless of the transport – standard has to be a CCD
•Public Health Reporting Interfaces
Must choose 1 Public Health Objective to Demonstrate - (but
own them all)
• Capability to submit electronic data to immunization registries
• Capability to provide electronic submission of reportable lab
results to public health agencies
• Capability to provide electronic syndromic surveillance data to
public health agencies
Chronic Conditions Stage 1
CMS Clarifications
FAQ Mechanism to clarify or re-write legislation
• Wording in Final Rule – ambiguous and left open to
much interpretation
• Many, many “clarifications” from CMS and ONC –
sometimes changing the ruling
• What will be involved in an Audit?
Prognosis:
Stage 2 and Beyond
Timeframe for Stage 2
• HIT Policy Panel submitted recommendations to
ONC – July 7, 2011
• Associated standards for Stage 2 Measures
submitted September 28, 2011
• CMS and ONC issued Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) February 23, 2012
• CMS and ONC will then issue the final rule in
middle of 2012
• Certification for Stage 2 in Fall 2012
Prognosis Stage 2 and Beyond
