2 SECTION 2: GENERAL GUIDELINES MU and CQM SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION Screenshots Must: 1. Be generated from Certified EHR Technology (CEHRT). 2. Display dates that are WITHIN the MU reporting period. Reports/Screenshots dated outside of the reporting period will not be accepted as supporting documentation. Vendor verification of functionality will be required. 3. Display: a. An Eligible Professional s (or, where appropriate, an Administrator s) first and last name; b. The facility/organization name and address (or other identifying information that would tie the documentation to the attesting EP. 4. Display the name of the objective. 5. Display the appropriate Document Type on epip (with corresponding File Name and Memo that clearly describe the content of the document). 6. Not include HIPAA data. If patient data has been redacted, it must not be legible. 7. Be uploaded in sequential order. Best practice: upload one document containing screenshots for each report category, i.e., one report with all MU measures and one report with all CQMs. Acceptable (but not preferable): upload individual screenshots; if this option is used, the objective name and identification number must be included in the epip Memo field. 8. Be submitted even for EPs that are excluded from a measure because they have no patients in the numerator and denominator. If an EP is not listed on a report because he/she is claiming exclusion, handwrite the EP s name on the report with an explanation (example: Dr. Smith was excluded from this measure ), and sign and date.

5 Objective #10 (Public Health Reporting): EPs scheduled to be in Stage 1 or Stage 2 MU in 2016 must attest, or claim Exclusion or Alternate Exclusion, to all three Objective 10 measures. To do this, an EP has two options: Option 1: the State of New Hampshire is not accepting data from EPs for Measure 1 (Immunization Registry) or Measure 2 (Syndromic Surveillance) o The EP may claim one of the Exclusion options offered (as applicable) for Measure 1 and Measure 2 and upload a copy of the New Hampshire Division of Public Health Services 2016 readiness letter (located on the Department s website at use.htm) onto epip as supporting documentation o Then the EP must attest, or claim Exclusion or Alternate Exclusion, for Measure 3 (Specialized Registry Reporting) Option 2: by federal statute, EPs may claim Alternate Exclusion for Measure 2 (Syndromic Surveillance) and/or Measure 3 (Specialized Registry Reporting) o The EP must attest, or claim one of the Exclusion options offered (as applicable) for Measure 1 (Immunization Registry) and upload a copy of the New Hampshire Division of Public Health Services 2016 readiness letter (located on the Department s website at use.htm) onto epip as supporting documentation o Then the EP may claim Alternate Exclusion for Measure 2 and Measure 3 IMPORTANT: an EP may not claim Exclusion AND Alternate Exclusion for the same measure. It has to be one or the other. For EPs that attest for Measure 3 (Specialized Registry Reporting): EPs must demonstrate that they are in active engagement to submit data to a specialized registry. Active engagement means that the provider is in the process of moving towards sending "production data" to a public health agency or clinical data registry, or is sending production data to a public health agency or clinical data registry. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR MEASURE 3 EPs that attest to being in active engagement to submit data to a specialized registry must provide a signed, dated letter from that registry that verifies that the EP demonstrated active engagement during the EHR reporting period as well as the active engagement option (i.e., Level 1, 2, or 3). EPs claiming Exclusion (NOT Alternate Exclusion) to Measure 3 must document (and upload onto epip) all steps demonstrating due diligence for an Exclusion including communications to specialty societies, screen shots of webpages, etc. END OF DOCUMENT December
