Not the Path We Want!
MU Stage 2 The final rule set for Meaningful Use Stage 2 was announced on August 23, 2012 and encompasses the following objectives: - Starting in 2014, providers participating in the EHR Incentive Programs who have met Stage 1 for two or three years will need to meet meaningful use Stage 2 criteria. - Stage 2 includes new objectives to improve patient care through better clinical decision support, care coordination and patient engagement. - With this next stage, EHRs will further save our health care system money, save time for doctors and hospitals, and save lives.

2014 Changes Starting in 2014, all EHR Incentive Programs participants will have to adopt certified EHR technology that meets ONC's Standards & Certification Criteria 2014 Final Rule. - To allow providers time to adopt 2014 certified EHR technology and prepare for Stage 2, all participants will have a three-month reporting period for 2014. -
Medicaid Eligibility Changes States have the option to allow providers to calculate Medicaid patient volume across 90-day period in last 12 months preceding a provider s attestation. This also applies to needy patient volume and patient panel methodology with at least one Medicaid encounter taking place in the 24 months prior to the 90-day period. 12
Negative Impact All EPs not meeting MU by 2015 will be subject to a payment adjustment EPs who first demonstrated meaningful use in 2011 or 2012 must demonstrate meaningful use for a full year in 2013 to avoid payment adjustments in 2015. They to demonstrate meaningful use every year to avoid payment adjustments in subsequent years.

Clinical Quality Measures Although reporting CQMs is no longer a core objective of the EHR Incentive Programs, all providers are required to report on CQMs in order to demonstrate meaningful use. In 2014 and beyond, reporting programs will be streamlined in order to reduce provider burden. 2014 represents CMS's commitment to aligning quality measurement and reporting among programs, including Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program, PQRS, CHIPRA, and ACO Programs. EPs Complete 6 out of 44 3 core or 3 alt. core 3 menu Complete 9 out of 64 Choose at least 1 measure in 3 NQS domains Recommended core CQMs include:9 CQMs for the adult population 9 CQMs for the pediatric population Prioritize NQS domains Eligible Hospitals and CAHs Complete 15 out of 15 Complete 16 out of 29 Choose at least 1 measure in 3 NQS domains

National Quality Strategy Priorities Making care safer by reducing harm caused in the delivery of care. Ensuring that each person and family are engaged as partners in their care. Promoting effective communication and coordination of care. Promoting the most effective prevention and treatment practices for the leading causes of mortality, starting with cardiovascular disease. Working with communities to promote wide use of best practices to enable healthy living. Making quality care more affordable for individuals, families, employers, and governments by developing and spreading new health care delivery models. NQS Goals for each Priority MU Health Outcomes Policy Priorities NQS ACO MU Compare Eliminate preventable health Improving quality, safety, care-acquired conditions efficiency and reducing health Create a delivery system that is less fragmented and more coordinated, where handoffs are clear, and patients and clinicians have the information they need to optimize the patient-clinician partnership Build a system that has the capacity to capture and act on patient-reported information, including preferences, desired outcomes, and experiences with health care Prevent and reduce the harm caused by cardiovascular disease Support every U.S. community as it pursues its local health priorities Identify and apply measures that can serve as effective indicators of progress in reducing costs disparities Engage patients and families in their care Improve care coordination Improving quality, safety, efficiency and reducing health disparities Improve population and public health Improving quality, safety, efficiency and reducing health disparities ACO Domains and Intent Domain Patient Safety Concepts Promote Evidence-Based Medicine Domain Patient/Care Giver Experience Concepts Promote Patient Engagement Promote Care Coordination Domain Care Coordination Patient Experience Concepts Promote Patient Engagement Promote Care Coordination Domain Patient Safety Preventive Health At Risk Population Concepts Promote Evidence-Based Medicine Domain Preventive Health Concepts Promote Patient Engagement Domain Preventive Health Concepts Promote Evidence-Based Medicine

From Farzad Mostashari: "information follows the patient regardless of geographic, organizational, or vendor boundaries From the MU2 document, "We continue to believe that making vendor-to-vendor standards-based exchange attainable for all meaningful EHR users is of paramount importance. In that regard, and as we look toward meaningful use Stage 3, we will monitor the ease with which EPs, eligible hospitals, and CAHs engage in electronic exchange, especially across different vendors EHRs," Dr. Mostashari read, "If we do not see sufficient progress or that continued impediments exist such that our policy goals for standards-based exchange are not being met, we will revisit these more specific measurement limitations and consider other policies to strengthen the interoperability requirements." He then said, "I want there to be no question about the seriousness of our intent on this issue. The bottom line is it's what's right for the patient and it's what we have to do as a country to get to better healthcare and lower costs.

Transitions in Care Stage 2 requires that a provider send a summary of care record for more than 50% of transitions of care and referrals. The rule also requires that a provider electronically transmit a summary of care for more than 10% of transitions of care and referrals. At least one summary of care document sent electronically to recipient with different EHR vendor or to CMS test EHR. Sharing with next provider of care peers Sharing with hospitals and other care sites Sharing via HIE to HIE; State ARRA funding; 5 HIEs just in Indiana Sharing with VA, SSA,

The Right Balance of Help?
Patient Engagement Patient engagement is an important focus of Meaningful Use Stage 2. What this means is that a small percentage of patients will have to perform certain actions in order for the EP to meet certain objectives. Requirements for Patient Action: More than 5% of patients must send secure messages to their EP. More than 5% of patients must access their health information online. EXCLUSIONS: CMS is introducing exclusions based on broadband availability in the provider's county.

Electronic Exchange Stage 2 focuses on actual use cases of electronic information exchange: Stage 2 requires that a provider send a summary of care record for more than 50% of transitions of care and referrals. The rule also requires that a provider electronically transmit a summary of care for more than 10% of transitions of care and referrals. At least on summary of care document send electronically to a recipient with different EHR vendor or to CMS test EHR.
