An electronic health record (EHR)—sometimes called an electronic medical record (EMR)—allows healthcare providers to record patient information electronically instead of using paper records.
![Page 13: Central Jersey Family Health Consortium 2 King Arthur CT ...njaap.org/uploadfiles/documents/PCORE/NJIN/NJIN... · Welcome and Introductions Central Jersey Family Health Consortium](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041913/5e683bd049e3b51d2a0df99a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Eligible Professionals (EPs) must achieve Meaningful Use of a certified EHR
– Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has established the Meaningful Use objectives that must be met to receive an incentive payment
– CMS and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) have established standards and other criteria for structured data that EHRs must use in order to be certified for this incentive program

Using certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology to: – Improve quality, safety,
efficiency, and reduce health disparities
– Engage patients and family
– Improve care coordination

The HITECH Act specifies 3 main components of Meaningful Use: Use of certified EHR technology in a
meaningful manner (e.g. for e-prescribing)
Use of certified EHR technology for electronic exchange of health information to improve quality of health care
Use of certified EHR technology to report clinical quality measures (CQM) and other such measures selected by the Secretary US DHHS
![Page 25: Central Jersey Family Health Consortium 2 King Arthur CT ...njaap.org/uploadfiles/documents/PCORE/NJIN/NJIN... · Welcome and Introductions Central Jersey Family Health Consortium](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041913/5e683bd049e3b51d2a0df99a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Reporting of Meaningful Use objectives takes place through an
attestation process on the NJMMIS website. Attestation is a legal statement that you have met the
thresholds and all of the requirements of the Medicare EHR Incentive Program.
The attestation process allows EPs to enter information on all of the following: – 15 core objectives – 5 out of 10 menu objectives – 3 core (or 3 alternate core) clinical quality measure – 3 out of 38 additional clinical quality measures
![Page 38: Central Jersey Family Health Consortium 2 King Arthur CT ...njaap.org/uploadfiles/documents/PCORE/NJIN/NJIN... · Welcome and Introductions Central Jersey Family Health Consortium](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041913/5e683bd049e3b51d2a0df99a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
One of the two choices that EPs may select for their mandatory Public Health Menu Set Objective
1. Submit electronic data to immunization registries
2. Submit electronic syndromic surveillance data to public health agencies
EPs must select at least one of the Public Health objectives to be part of their 5 Menu Set Objective requirements
If an EP administers immunizations, they must choose the immunization registry objective
![Page 39: Central Jersey Family Health Consortium 2 King Arthur CT ...njaap.org/uploadfiles/documents/PCORE/NJIN/NJIN... · Welcome and Introductions Central Jersey Family Health Consortium](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041913/5e683bd049e3b51d2a0df99a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What the Measure Requires
• Performed at least one test of certified EHR technology’s capacity to submit electronic data to immunization registries and follow up submission if the test is successful
What Does It Mean
• Your EHR comes equipped with the ability to electronically send immunization data. You have to test your EHR’s ability to electronically transmit that information to a public health registry. Even if the test fails, you have successfully met this objective
Is There an Exclusion?
• You could be excluded from meeting this objective for either of these reasons:
• You don’t administer immunizations
• There’s no immunization registry to which you can send information
![Page 40: Central Jersey Family Health Consortium 2 King Arthur CT ...njaap.org/uploadfiles/documents/PCORE/NJIN/NJIN... · Welcome and Introductions Central Jersey Family Health Consortium](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041913/5e683bd049e3b51d2a0df99a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Providers can attest for Meaningful use without completing the NJIIS requirement based on this exclusion.
• Providers will still need to continue working towards setting the Immunization Interface
“if for any reason (e.g. waiting list, on-boarding
process, other requirements, etc) the
registry cannot test with a specific EP or hospital, that EP or hospital can
exclude the objective.” – CMS FAQ – 10714

Provider must be enrolled with NJIIS – Attend a training session (face to face)
– Obtain a username and password
– Type of interface and frequency of upload of the file will be decided by the provider with vendor’s help
– File type has to be HL7
Vendors must test with NJIIS – Use NJIIS interface specifications document and the
HL7 specifications document
– Vendor also communicates with NJIIS
– Providers should take responsibility to facilitate this
