•  Meaningful  Use  (MU)  Stage  2  Clinical  Quality  Measure  (CQM)  Tes:ng  and  Cer:fica:on  Tool  –  ONC  championed  ac8vity  

–  MITRE  designed  and  stewarded  free  open  source  soVware  

•  Enables  repeatable  tes:ng  that  an  EHRs’  ability  to  calculate  Eligible  Professional  (EP)  CQMs,  Eligible  Hospital  (EH)  CQMs,  and  Quality  Repor:ng  Document  Architecture  (QRDA)  XML  is  accurate  and  aligned  with  MU  Stage  2  1.  Capture  and  Export    2.  Import  and  Calculate    3.  Electronic  Submission  

Cypress  Overview

Status  of  Cypress  and  MU  Stage  2  CQMs  

•  Cypress  released  to  Authorized  Tes:ng  Labs  (ATLs)    –  V2.0.0  released  12/21/2012  –  V2.1.0  released  2/28/2013  

•  ONC’s  2014  HIT  Cer:fica:on  Program  opera:onal  January  2,  2013  

•  ATLs  have  successfully  cer:fied  vendors  using  the  new  CQM  tes:ng  procedure  and  Cypress  

•  We  are  receiving  feedback  from  vendors  and  ATLs  –  125+  discussions  on  the  public  open  source  email  list  –  200+  issues  on  ONC’s  Jira  tool    

•  We  are  improving  the  cer:fica:on  tools  and  process  based  on  your  feedback

Types  of  Feedback  Collected  

•  eCQM  Logic  •  Value  Sets  •  QRDA-­‐I  Test  Data    (Capture/Export)  •  QRDA-­‐III  Test  Data  (Compute)  

5

eCQM  Logic  Feedback  

•  Many  ques:ons  regarding  proper  interpreta:on  of  MU2  eCQMs  

•  Ques:ons  about  specific  eCQMs,  e.g.:  – Measure  X  doesn’t  reflect  the  clinical  guidelines  

•  General  Ques:ons,  e.g.:  – How  to  interpret  specific  occurrence  idioms?  – How  are  episode  of  care  eCQMs  computed?  

6  

Page 7: Cypress nlm himss13_03042013

Response  to  eCQM  Feedback  

•  Short-­‐Term  Ac:ons  –  V1.1  of  eCQM  Implementa8on  Guide  on  CMS  Website  –  eCQMs  updated  as  part  of  2013  annual  update  

•  Longer-­‐Term  Ac:ons  –  Publica8on  of  test  data  for  use  by  vendors  to  demonstrate  intended  behavior  for  each  measure  

–  Improvements  to  logic  syntax  –  Incorpora8on  of  automated  tes8ng  in  MU3  eCQM  development  process

Value  Set  Authority  Center  (VSAC)  

•  Provides  Value  Sets  that  support  MU  Stage  2  CQMs  –  Requires  UMLS  Metathesaurus  License  for  access  to  GUI  and  download  files  

•  Received  lots  of  useful  feedback  and  input  from  users,  e.g.:  –  How  can  I  obtain  pre-­‐packaged  value  sets  for  all  eCQMs?  –  Can’t  you  sort  these  in  various  ways  –  CMS  ID,  QDM  category?  –  How  can  I  filter  my  search  results  by  code  system  (SNOMED  CT,  RxNorm,  etc),  in  the  user  interface?  

–  How  do  I  find  out  about  updates  to  value  sets  or  the  VSAC?

VSAC:    Ongoing  Work  

•  Development  of  VSAC  authoring  environment  –  Improve  quality  of  value  sets  –  Improve  authoring  produc8vity  

•  Value  set  harmoniza:on  –  Gather  ‘purpose’  of  all  value  sets  as  structured  metadata  – Will  provide  ‘seman8c  boundaries’  of  value  sets,  which  could  be  helpful  on  determining  overlap  of  value  sets,  new  code  appropriateness,  etc.  

•  Gathering  of  non-­‐MU  value  sets    –  e.g.,  Route  of  Administra8on    –  Could  eventually  be  used  in  some  MU  context
