September 14, 2018

October 3, 2018, is the last day to start your 90-day reporting period for the 2018 Promoting Interoperability program. Now is the time to evaluate your current state and prepare for your reporting period.
Important tasks for your 90 days:

1. Know what needs to be reported, Centers for Medical & Medicaid Services (CMS) reporting requirements for 2018 are here.
2. Know your baseline, run your 2018 Promoting Interoperability reports.
• Identify areas needing improvement and create a plan to correct them.
3. Know your state’s public health registry capabilities and what entities you need to connect with.
4. Update or perform your security risk assessment.
• If you have questions on your risk assessment, or would like help from us, please contact Susan Clarke, our security and privacy expert, at sclarke@mpqhf.org.
5. Monitor your reports regularly throughout your chosen reporting period to ensure ongoing compliance.
6. Prepare all documentation needed for attestation and any future audits.

In some circumstances the reporting period may be more than 90 days for your clinical quality measures. Get the details and additional information from these previous blog posts:
