A little bit about AIU
Adopt: Acquire or install certified EHR
technology (CEHRT). Required evidence varies
by state (e.g, evidence of installation).
Implement: Begin using CEHRT (e.g., training
or initial data entry).
Upgrade: Update existing software (e.g.,
upgrade to CEHRT from a non-certified product).

Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs)
● Both MU stages share the same set of CQMs.
● Providers must select 9 CQMs from at least 3 of 6
National Quality Strategy (NQS) domains:
○ Patient and Family Engagement
○ Patient Safety
○ Care Coordination
○ Population and Public Health
○ Efficient Use of Health Care Resources
○ Clinical Processes/Effectiveness
●OP 14 is certified for 23 CQMs across 5 domains
and it includes all 9 core pediatric measures.

Affecting CQMs Has Changed
● Before OP prescribed a
workflow to affect each certified
CQM.
Use of Appropriate Medications for Asthma
(p. 4 of 10)
● CQMs are now affected by a
myriad of chart elements and
complex calculations.

2015 Office Practicum User Conference
Protect Patient Health Information
● Objective: Protect electronic protected health
information (ePHI) created or maintained by CEHRT
through the implementation of appropriate technical,
administrative, and physical safeguards.
● Measure:
○ Conduct or review a security risk analysis upon install or
upgrade to new Edition of CEHRT.
■ Perform risk analysis annually in subsequent years.
○ Address the security (including encryption) of data stored in
EHR.
○ Implement security updates as necessary, and correct
identified security deficiencies as part of the provider's risk
management process.
○ The practice must implement appropriate technical,
administrative, and physical safeguards.
2015 Office Practicum User Conference
Electronic Prescribing (eRx)
● Objective: Generate and transmit permissible
prescriptions electronically.
● Measure:
○ More than 80 percent of all permissible prescriptions written
by the EP are queried for a drug formulary and transmitted
electronically.
■ Inclusion of controlled substances optional.
2015 Office Practicum User Conference
Clinical Decision Support
● Objective: Implement clinical decision support
(CDS) interventions focused on improving
performance on high-priority health conditions.
● Measures:
○ Implement five CDS interventions related to four or more
CQMs at a relevant point in patient care for the entire EHR
reporting period.
■ If four CQMs are not related to scope of practice or
patient population, the clinical decision support
interventions must be related to high-priority health
conditions.
○ Implement drug-drug and drug-allergy interaction checks for
the entire EHR reporting period.
2015 Office Practicum User Conference
Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)
● Objective: Use CPOE for medication, laboratory,
and diagnostic imaging orders directly entered by any
licensed healthcare professional, credentialed
medical assistant, or a medical staff member
credentialed to and performing the equivalent duties
of a credentialed medical assistant; who can enter
orders into the medical record per state, local, and
professional guidelines.

Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE)
● Measures:
○ More than 80 percent of medication orders created by the
EP during the EHR reporting period are recorded using
CPOE
○ More than 60 percent of laboratory orders created by the EP
during the EHR reporting period are recorded using CPOE
○ More than 60 percent of diagnostic imaging orders created
by the EP during the EHR reporting period are recorded
using CPOE.

Patient Electronic Access
● Objective: Provide access for patients to view
online, download, and transmit their health
information, or retrieve their health information
through an API, within 24 hours of its availability.
● Measures:
○ For more than 80% of all unique patients seen by the EP:
■ The patient (or authorized representative) is provided
access to view online, download, and transmit their
health information within 24 hours; or
○ Provide access to clinically relevant patient-specific
educational resources to more than 35% of unique patients
seen.
2015 Office Practicum User Conference
Coordination of Care
● Objective: Use communications functions of CEHRT
to engage with patients or their authorized
representatives about the patient’s care.
● Measures:
○ More than 25% of unique patients seen during reporting
period view, download or transmit their health information to
a third party.
○ Send a secure message or respond to a secure message for
more than 35% of all unique patients seen.
○ Patient-generated health data or data from a non-clinical
setting (e.g., Nutrition, PT) is incorporated into the CEHRT
for more than 15% of unique patients seen.
2015 Office Practicum User Conference
Health Information Exchange (HIE)
● Objective: Provide a summary of care record when
transitioning or referring patients to another care
setting, retrieve a summary of care record upon the
first encounter with a new patient, and incorporate
summary of care information from other providers into
the EHR.
● Measures: Choose 2 of 3.
○ Create a summary of care record and electronically
exchange it for more than 50% of transitions of care and
referrals.
○ Incorporate patient information into the EHR from an
electronic summary of care document for more than 40% of
transitions or referrals received.
○ Perform a clinical information reconciliation (medications,
medication allergies, problems)for more than 80% of new
patient encounters.
2015 Office Practicum User Conference
Public Health and Clinical Data Reporting
● Objective: Active engagement to submit public health
data in a meaningful way using CEHRT.
○ Active engagement means the provider is in the process of
moving towards sending production data.
■ Completed registration to submit.
■ Testing and validation.
