Meaningful Use: The Measures Defined by Information That Leaves the EMR

 

Program Overview

The drive toward Meaningful Use and meeting the government mandated measures has ushered in a new sense of urgency for practices and health systems to get the most out of their EHR/EMR software. However, there is a constant need for education to ensure fulfillment of the Meaningful Use Core Measures and compliance with HHS/CMS guidelines. With so much information available at the “30,000 foot” overview level, this presentation is designed to give some specifics on five (5) of the more “controversial” measures.

• Core Measure 12 of 15 – Electronic Copy of Personal Health Record
• Core Measure 13 of 15 – Clinical Summary
• Core Measure 14 of 15 – Electronic Exchange of Information
• Core Measure 15 of 15 – Risk Assessment
• Menu Set Measure 5 of 10 – Patient Portal
