1 MU Stage 1 - EP Public Health Reporting Exclusion Final Rule Extract (Final Rule pg. 767+) Meaningful use objectives and measures for EPs, eligible hospitals, and CAHs. (2) Exclusion for non-applicable objectives. (i) An EP may exclude a particular objective contained in paragraphs (d) or (e) of this section, if the EP meets all of the following requirements: (A) Must ensure that the objective in paragraph (d) or (e) of this section includes an option for the EP to attest that the objective is not applicable. (B) Meets the criteria in the applicable objective that would permit the attestation. (C) Attests. (ii) An exclusion will reduce (by the number of exclusions applicable) the number of objectives that would otherwise apply. For example, an EP that has an exclusion from one of the objectives in paragraph (e) of this section must meet four (and not five) objectives of the EP s choice from such paragraph to meet the definition of a meaningful EHR user. Public Health Reporting Specifics (pg. 776+) (9) Submission to Immunization Registries (i) Objective; Capability to submit electronic data to immunization registries or immunization information systems and actual submission according to applicable law and practice. (ii) Measure; 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 (unless none of the immunization registries to which the EP submits such information has the capacity to receive the information electronically). (iii) Exclusion in accordance with paragraph (a)(2) of this section. An EP who administers no immunizations during the EHR reporting period or where no immunization registry has the capacity to receive the information electronically.
2 (10) Submission of Syndromic Surveillance Data (i) Objective; Capability to submit electronic syndromic surveillance data to public health agencies and actual submission according to applicable law and practice. (ii) Measure; Performed at least one test of certified EHR technology's capacity to provide electronic syndromic surveillance data to public health agencies and follow-up submission if the test is successful (unless none of the public health agencies to which an EP submits such information has the capacity to receive the information electronically). (iii) Exclusion in accordance with paragraph (a)(2) of this section. An EP who does not collect any reportable syndromic information on their patients during the EHR reporting period or does not submit such information to any public health agency that has the capacity to receive the information electronically.
3 Supporting CMS FAQs [EHR Incentive Program] Do specialty providers have to meet all of the meaningful use objectives for the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs... Published 02/17/ :53 PM Updated 07/12/ :38 AM Answer ID Do specialty providers have to meet all of the meaningful use objectives for the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, or can they ignore the objectives that are not relevant to their scope of practice? For eligible professionals (EPs) who participate in the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, there are a total of 25 meaningful use objectives. To qualify for an incentive payment, 20 of these 25 objectives must be met. There are 15 required core objectives. The remaining 5 objectives may be chosen from the list of 10 menu set objectives. Certain objectives do provide exclusions. If an EP meets the criteria for that exclusion, then the EP can claim that exclusion during attestation. However, if an exclusion is not provided, or if the EP does not meet the criteria for an existing exclusion, then the EP must meet the measure of the objective in order to successfully demonstrate meaningful use and receive an EHR incentive payment. Failure to meet the measure of an objective or to qualify for an exclusion for the objective will prevent an EP from successfully demonstrating meaningful use and receiving an incentive payment.
4 [EHR Incentive Program] How should EPs select menu objectives for the EHR Incentive Programs? Published 10/18/ :41 AM Updated 03/24/ :11 AM Answer ID How should eligible professionals (EPs) select menu objectives for the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Programs? EPs are required to report on a total of 5 meaningful use objectives from the menu set. When selecting five objectives from the menu set, EPs must choose at least one option from the public health menu set. If an EP is able to meet the measure of one of the public health menu objectives but can be excluded from the other, the EP should select and report on the public health menu objective they are able to meet. If an EP can be excluded from both public health menu objectives, the EP should claim an exclusion from only one public health objective and report on four additional menu objectives from outside the public health menu set. We encourage EPs to select menu objectives that are relevant to their scope of practice, and claim an exclusion for a menu objective only in cases where there are no remaining menu objectives for which they qualify or if there are no remaining menu objectives that are relevant to their scope of practice. For example, we hope that EPs will report on 5 measures, if there are 5 measures that are relevant to their scope of practice and for which they can report data, even if they qualify for exclusions in the other objectives. Please note that EPs must have complete certified EHR technology (or a complete set of certified EHR modules) capable of supporting all of the core and menu set objectives, including any objectives for which the EP can claim an exclusion and menu set objectives the EP does not select.
5 [EHR Incentive Programs] If my certified EHR technology only includes the capability to submit information to an immunization registry using the HL standard... Published 07/11/ :08 AM Updated 07/12/ :42 AM Answer ID If my certified EHR technology only includes the capability to submit information to an immunization registry using the HL standard but the immunization registry only accepts information formatted in the HL or some other standard, will I qualify for an exclusion because the immunization registry does not have the capacity to receive the information electronically? What if the immunization registry has a waiting list or is unable to test for other reasons but can accept information formatted in HL , is that still a valid exclusion? If the immunization registry does not accept information in the standard to which your EHR technology has been certified-that is, if your EHR is certified to the HL standard and the immunization registry only accepts HL , or vice versa-and if the immunization registry is the only immunization registry to which you can submit such information, then you can claim an exclusion to this objective because the immunization registry does not have the capacity to receive the information electronically. The capacity of the immunization registry is determined by the ability of the immunization registry to test with an individual EP or eligible hospital. An immunization registry may have the capacity to accept immunization data from another EP or hospital, but 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. It is the responsibility of the EP or hospital to document the justification for their exclusion (including making clear that the immunization registry in question is the only one it can submit information to). If the immunization registry, due to State law or policy, would not accept immunization data from you (e.g., not a lifespan registry, etc), you can also claim the exclusion for this objective. Please note, this FAQ applies in principle to all of the Stage 1 public health meaningful use measures (syndromic surveillance and reportable lab conditions).
