Meaningful Use Overview
for HIM ProfessionalsPat Gowan & JoAnne
HawkinsLast Updated: June 11, 2012
Today’s Objectives
• Understand the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program
• Understand and differentiate the Meaningful Use Performance Measures and Meaningful Use Clinical Quality Measures
• Review the current Meaningful Use performance Measures as they pertain to HIM Professionals
Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Overview
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides incentive payments for Medicare and Medicaid Eligible Hospitals and Eligible Professionals that are meaningful users of certified EHR technology. The EHR incentive programs are part of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) of 2009 which amended the Social Security Act.
Indian Health Service (IHS), Tribal and Urban Indian health programs (I/T/U) eligible hospitals and eligible professionals can receive EHR incentive payments if they meet requirements of the Medicare and/or Medicaid EHR incentive programs starting in 2011. For, Medicare they need to demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR. For Medicaid, they need to adopt, implement and upgrade to a certified EHR in their first participation year.**Eligible hospitals and eligible professionals must take steps to receive payments.
The IHS Resource and Patient Management System (RPMS) successfully passed all tests required for certification as a complete EHR for ambulatory and inpatient use, based on criteria established by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. I/T/Us that do not use RPMS EHR must ensure that their EHR is certified separately.
MEANINGFUL USE
Meaningful Use: 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: Stages of Meaningful Use
• 3 stages of Meaningful Use• Requirements will increase over time…more work
lies ahead
Stage 12011-2012
Stage 22013-2014
Stage 32015+
MEDICAREEHR Incentive Program
MEDICAIDEHR Incentive Program
Implemented by the Federal Government and started January 3, 2011
Voluntary for States to implement - Most are expected to start by late summer 2011
Must initiate participation by 2014Must participate by 2012 to receive the maximum incentive paymentProgram ends in 2016
Must initiate participation by 2016Must participate by 2016 to receive the maximum incentive payment Program ends in 2021
Must demonstrate MU in Year 1 over a consecutive 90-day report period
A/I/U option for Year 1
No patient volume requirement Must meet patient volume thresholds
Medicare payment reductions begin in 2015 for EH/EPs who do not demonstrate MU of certified EHR technology
No Medicaid payment reductions
Meaningful Use: Definition of A/I/U
• Adopt: Acquire, purchase, or secure access to certified EHR technology
• Implement: Install or commence utilization of certified EHR technology capable or meeting MU requirements
• Upgrade: Expand the available functionality of certified EHR technology capable of meeting MU requirements at the practice site, including staffing, maintenance, and training or upgrade from existing EHR technology to certified EHR technology per the ONC EHR certification criteria

WHAT DOES HIM REALLY NEED TO KNOW
• Differences/commonalities between:
-CORE SET and MENU SETS
-PERFORMANCE MEASURES and CLINICAL QUALITY MEASURES
-MEASURES FOR EH/CAH versus EP
• Reports that demonstrate reaching meaningful use
• Measures that require attestation only
• Effects of accurate and timely completion of coding queue on MU
• Effects of inpatient coding and clinical documentation on reaching CQM
• Effects of PCC errors on MU
• Effects of complete and comprehensive patient registration on MU
