Final MU rule

• Eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals, critical access hospitals

• Core and menu‐set philosophyp p y

• Rollback of thresholds for tasks

• Reduced # of quality measures• Reduced # of quality measures

• Emphasis on this as first of three stages

Quality philosophy of Final Rule

• Balance between improving quality as much as possible and encouraging widespread adoption / avoiding excessive work burden

• Ensures that you have the functional capability, and ‘get your feet wet’p y g y

• Many criteria will reappear in phase 2 & 3 (2013+)(2013+)

Tasks

Page 8: Safety and Quality of Cares3.amazonaws.com/rdcms-himss/files/production/... · 2. Record vital signs and chart changes (height, weight, blood pressure, bd id th htf More than 50%

Task changes from proposed rule

• 25 objectives divided into 15 core objectives and menu set (fulfill 5 out of 10)menu‐set (fulfill 5 out of 10)– 24 objectives (14 core + 5/10) for hospitals– Exclusions as well, where objective doesn’t apply

• Lowered thresholds for most objectives• New adds: providing patient resources, advance di idirectives

• Calculations simplified in some cases (e.g., patients not encounters); no chart reviewpatients, not encounters); no chart review

• Claims & eligibility transactions removed

Things not changed

• Some thresholds (e.g., 80% of patients to have problems/allergies/meds documented)
