Recent Updates for Reporting
CMS extended the reporting deadline for 2016 New deadline is March 13, 2017
Expect potential changes for CY 2017 reporting:• Reduction in reporting period to 90 days• Decrease the number of eCQMs
Address challenges many hospitals face:• Transitioning to new EHR systems• Upgrading EHR technology• Changing workflows to meet eCQM
requirements

2017 Alignment IQR and EHR Incentive Program
• IQR eCQM requirement aligns with CQM reporting for the EHR Incentive Program
• Starting in 2018, hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals participating in the EHR Incentive Program will no longer have the option for attestation
• eCQM reporting using CEHRT is required

Scores
• Not reported to Hospital Compare• Zero denominators “OK”• CMS will use data as a baseline to establish
future threshold requirements• Future ruling to be released
![Page 10: How MEDITECH Hospitals Can Meet The New eCQM Reporting Requirements using QRDA](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030200/58a5d6b81a28abd14d8b4583/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Producing a QRDA-1 file
• Follow MEDITECH Best Practices• Documentation with updated value sets• Ensure correct tables are turned on to Data Repository
• IMO updates• All data sources must have accurate nomenclature
mapping
• ARRA Report Manager vs SQL reports• Tools for populating a QRDA-1 for each measure• Run reports to determine what’s missing• Correct errors• Map the missing data sources
![Page 11: How MEDITECH Hospitals Can Meet The New eCQM Reporting Requirements using QRDA](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030200/58a5d6b81a28abd14d8b4583/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Is it REALLY that Easy?
• Working through the ARRA Report Manager requires dedicated staff resources
• New documentation queries or data capture will be required to meet Best Practice
• New IMO mapping may be required
• New value sets and OIDs • Are there internal resources to
produce reports?

QRDA-1 Files Created – What’s Next
Pre-Submission Validation Application• QualityNet Secure Portal
• Register for a QualityNet account• Have assigned EHR Data Upload Role
• Test QRDA-1 files & validate against 2017 CMS requirements
• Produces reports to help identify errors• Correct errors prior to submitting production files

Reality…..
• Tracking started January 1• Involves new build & IMO mapping in
MEDITECH • Requires updates for 2017 CMS specifications
and value set mapping• Need to test & validate QRDA-1 files before
submission• Potential to submit Q1 data in Q2
