MEANINGFUL USE

What is Meaningful Use? Meaningful Use is using certified EHR technology to: Improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health disparities Engage patients and families in their health care Improve care coordination Improve population and public health All the while maintaining privacy and security

MEDICARE EHR Incentive Program MEDICAID EHR Incentive Program Implemented by the Federal Government and started January 3, 2011 Voluntary for States to implement - Most are expected to start by late summer 2011 Program ends in 2016 Must initiate participation by 2014 Must participate by 2012 to receive the maximum incentive payment Program ends in 2021 Must initiate participation by 2016 Must participate by 2016 to receive the maximum incentive payment Medicare payment reductions begin in 2015 for EH/EPs who do not demonstrate MU of certified EHR technology No Medicaid payment reductions Must demonstrate MU in Year 1 over a consecutive 90-day report period A/I/U option for Year 1 No patient volume requirementMust meet patient volume thresholds

Meaningful Use: Definition of A/I/U Adopt: Acquire, purchase, or secure access to certified EHR technology Implement: Install or commence utilization of certified EHR technology capable or meeting MU requirements Upgrade: Expand the available functionality of certified EHR technology capable of meeting MU requirements at the practice site, including staffing, maintenance, and training or upgrade from existing EHR technology to certified EHR technology per the ONC EHR certification criteria

Meaningful Use: State Options May add 4 additional core performance measures: Generate lists of patients by specific conditions for quality improvement, reduction of disparities, research, or outreach (can specify particular conditions) Reporting to immunization registries Reportable lab results Syndromic surveillance (can specify for their providers how to test the data submission and to which specific destination) May propose a different Patient Volume method is used instead of or in addition to the CMS-defined methods NOTE: CMS must review and approve all performance measure and patient volume changes

Meaningful Use: Stages of Meaningful Use 3 stages of Meaningful Use Requirements will increase over time…more work lies ahead Stage Stage Stage

EHR CERTIFICATION

EHR Certification: Process Creates EHR Certification Test Creates EHR Certification Requirements Creates MU Requirements Authorized Testing and Certification Body

EHR Certification: Key Points A certified EHR is required to demonstrate meaningful use EHR Certification demonstrates that the EHR is standardized and interoperable RPMS-EHR was certified by InfoGard on April 1, 2011 The certified version RPMS-EHR was released in June 2011 Further enhancements ongoing. The EHR certification number can be obtained at:

Certifying Officials and Providers will use the NPPES/NPI web user account user name and password CMS Registration: Login Page

One difference in registering is that hospitals must provide their CCN and pick an NPI. These must match the TIN as well. CMS Registration: Hospital Registration

Here EP or staff registering on their behalf select program type (state for Medicaid providers), provider type, and EHR # CMS Registration: EP Program Selection

Unlike EPs, some hospitals can pick Medicare, Medicaid, or both IMPORTANT: If a hospital is eligible for both programs, they should select both, even if they may not get an incentive for both in the 1 st year. CMS Registration: EH Program Selection

Hospitals/Providers will not receive confirmations at this point in the program. It is important that providers print this page or record the information in some other way. Medicaid EPs and hospitals must continue with the State’s site to verify additional info. CMS Registration: Submission Receipt
