CMS wants to keep you updated with the latest resources on the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs. Two new FAQs on clinical quality measures (CQMs) and meaningful use have been added to our website. Take a minute and review these new FAQs.
1. For the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, if the certified EHR technology possessed by an eligible professional (EP) generates zero denominators for all CQMs in the additional set that it can calculate, is the EP responsible for determining whether they have zero denominators or data for any remaining CQMs in the additional set that their certified EHR technology is not capable of calculating? Read the answer.
2. For the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, if certified EHR technology possessed by an EP includes the ability to calculate CQMs from the additional set that are not indicated by the EHR developer or on the Certified Health Information Technology Product List (CHPL) as tested and certified by an ONC - Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB), can the EP submit the results of those CQMs to CMS as part of their meaningful use attestation? Read the answer.
For more information about the CQMs, take a look at the CQM Page of the EHR website.
