21. Critical Success Factors
• Issue: Need the right information to attest
– What measures?
– How computed?
– Where does the information come from?
– GIGO
• Action Recommendation
– Define which measures you are using
– Understand the calculations for each measure - CMS has detailed
definitions
– Insure revised workflow captures this information
– Must train staff to know what information you need and that they must
capture it
©2012 The HIT Community, LLC. All Rights Reserved. 21
22. Critical Success Factors
• Issue: Your EHR system must support tracking the
information for attestation
– EHR must have the right fields
– Not all vendors have all the MU measures in place – especially quality
measures
– Must be easy to enter the right information into those fields
– Must be able to get reports with the right information
• Action Recommendation
– Meaningful Use information requirements must be part of EHR selection
– Meaningful Use information requirements must be part of EHR
implementation
– Work with vendor or any consultants or REC to make sure the correct
reports are available
– Train users on how to enter and access information in your EHR
©2012 The HIT Community, LLC. All Rights Reserved. 22
23. Critical Success Factors
• Issue: Can get ―caught‖ by attestation details
– The CMS Medicare attestation rules have some tricky details.
– Some examples
• You are asked to provide an EHR Certification number - which is not the
same as the Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL) Product number
assigned during the certification process, EHR Provider Number
• A hospital must decide if it is using the observation services method for
calculating emergency department (ED) visits or if all visits were counted
• Computing the core and quality measures can be tricky
• Action Recommendation
– Clearly define your Meaningful Use information requirements
– Define a process to access, compute and review the information
– Have the information ready and completed before going online
– Use the CMS Attestation User Guides and Worksheets
©2012 The HIT Community, LLC. All Rights Reserved. 23
24. Critical Success Factors
• Issue: Timing is important to maximizing payment
– When you attest will affect the timing of incentive payments…
– … and could also impact when you must attest for stage 2
– Medicare schedule – the schedule is subject to change
• Action Recommendation
– Understand when you can realistically start implementing an EHR
– Don’t underestimate how long and complex implementation can
be
– Start by 2013 to assure full payment
– Keep informed about rule changes

2. Currently you attest for the Medicare EHR Incentive Program in your first year of participation
• Need to have met meaningful use for a consecutive 90-day reporting period
• If initial attestation fails, you can select a different 90-day reporting period that may partially overlap with a previously reported 90-day
period.
• To attest for the Medicare EHR Incentive Program in subsequent years, you will need to have met meaningful use for a full year.
• The reporting period for eligible professionals must fall within the calendar year,
• The reporting period for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals must fall during the Federal fiscal year.
• At some point (likely in 2012), submission will be directly from an EHR system
3. To attest
• Fill in numerators and denominators for the meaningful use objectives and clinical quality measures, Note: EHR system will provide
a report of the numerators, denominators and other information to enter that data into our online Attestation System.
• indicate if they qualify for exclusions to specific objectives, and
• legally attest that they have successfully demonstrated meaningful use.
• Provide a CMS EHR Certification ID that identifies the certified EHR technology being used to demonstrate meaningful use. This can
be obtained by entering the certified EHR technology product information at the Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL) on the ONC
website: http://healthit.hhs.gov/chpl
• Providers will qualify for a Medicare EHR incentive payment upon completing a successful online submission through the
Attestation System—immediately after submitting results you will see a summary of your attestation, and whether or not it was
successful.
4. Payment
