Eligibility
• Eligibility in general is determined by the HITECH Act and there have been no changes to the HITECH Act
• Therefore the only eligibility changes are those within our regulatory purview under the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program

What is Meaningful Use?
• Meaningful Use is using certified EHR technology to • Improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health
disparities • Engage patients and families in their health care • Improve care coordination • Improve population and public health • All the while maintaining privacy and security
• Meaningful Use mandated in law to receive incentives

MU and Implementation
• Put each objective in the context of the goal
• Is it measurable? • How can usability and workflow be better?
13
Why does CPOE improve quality, safety
and efficiency?

Core CQMs for EPs
CMS selected the CQMs for the proposed core set based on analysis of several factors:
• Conditions that contribute to the morbidity and mortality of the most Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries
• Conditions that represent national public/ population health priorities
• Conditions that are common to health disparities
44
![Page 45: Medicare & Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs...DDM/DDS, optometrist, podiatrist, chiropractor) • Must have Part B Medicare allowed charges • Must not be hospital-based • Must be](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050323/5f7cd87fab039c32ef27daac/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
http://www.cms.gov/EHRIncentivePrograms/
Core CQMs for EPs (cont’d)
• Conditions that disproportionately drive healthcare costs and could improve with better quality measurement
• Measures that would enable CMS, States, and the provider community to measure quality of care in new dimensions, with a stronger focus on parsimonious measurement
• Measures that include patient and/or caregiver engagement
45

PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS
Medicare Only EPs, Subsection (d) Hospitals and CAHs
47
![Page 48: Medicare & Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs...DDM/DDS, optometrist, podiatrist, chiropractor) • Must have Part B Medicare allowed charges • Must not be hospital-based • Must be](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050323/5f7cd87fab039c32ef27daac/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
http://www.cms.gov/EHRIncentivePrograms/
Payment Adjustments
• The HITECH Act stipulates that for Medicare EP, subsection (d) hospitals and CAHs a payment adjustment applies if they are not a meaningful EHR user.
• An EP, subsection (d) hospital or CAH becomes a meaningful EHR user when they successfully attest to meaningful use under either the Medicare or Medicaid EHR incentive program
• As adopt, implement and upgrade does not constitute meaningful use, a provider receiving a Medicaid incentive for AIU would still be subject to the Medicare payment adjustment.

EP Hardship Exemption
Other Possible Exemption Discussed in NPRM • Concerned that the combination of 3 barriers would
constitute a significant hardship • Lack of direct interaction with patients • Lack of need for follow-up care for patients • Lack of control over the availability of Certified EHR
Technology • We do not believe any one of these barriers taken
independently constitutes a significant hardship • In our discussion we consider whether any specialty may
nearly uniformly face all 3 barriers

• Providers dissatisfied can file a request for reconsideration with comments and documentation supporting the reconsideration within 15 days of the initial determination.
