As you know, CMS has approved a 90-day reporting period for MU for 2016. Just to make sure you have everything taken care of, here is a list of tasks needed for successful completion of MU for 2016 &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>1. Choose a continuous 90-day reporting period for 2016 (<a href=\"https:\/\/dsiohn098w.mpqhf.org\/blog\/hts-mu-cms-approves-a-90-day-reporting-period-for-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\">see more info<\/a>). Remember that providers within your organization can use different 90-day reporting periods.<br \/>\n2. Verify which alternate exclusions may apply to you (only for providers or hospitals that would be reporting stage 1 in 2016) &#8211; see more on this for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/Regulations-and-Guidance\/Legislation\/EHRIncentivePrograms\/Downloads\/2016_EPWhatYouNeedtoKnowfor2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">eligible providers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/Regulations-and-Guidance\/Legislation\/EHRIncentivePrograms\/Downloads\/2016_EHWhatYouNeedtoKnowfor2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">eligible hospitals<\/a>.<br \/>\n3. Run the MU reports for your chosen 90-day period and confirm all providers and\/or your hospital has passed all core objectives (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/Regulations-and-Guidance\/Legislation\/EHRIncentivePrograms\/2016ProgramRequirements.html\" target=\"_blank\">see more info on objectives<\/a>).<br \/>\n4. If you have providers that are delivering services in more than one location, <a href=\"https:\/\/dsiohn098w.mpqhf.org\/blog\/709-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">see more info on what is required for each location<\/a>.<br \/>\n5. Verify your Medicaid eligibility if you are reporting to the Medicaid EHR Incentive program.<br \/>\n6. Take screen shots of the following &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Confirming the EHR certified version<\/li>\n<li>Confirming the drug\/drug-drug\/allergy alert is active<\/li>\n<li>Confirming the 5 clinical decision support rules are active<\/li>\n<li>Confirming you have access to a drug formulary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>7. Confirm you are meeting the requirements for the public health measure (<a href=\"https:\/\/dsiohn098w.mpqhf.org\/blog\/hts-actively-engaged\/\" target=\"_blank\">see more info<\/a>).<br \/>\n8. Confirm your security risk assessment has been updated and applies to your 2016 reporting period.<br \/>\n9. Eligible Providers only \u2013 confirm each provider has responded to an eSecure message for at least one patient seen during the reporting period.<br \/>\n10. Confirm each provider (for EPs) or your organization (for EHs) has at least one patient seen during the reporting period view, download or transfer their PHI.<\/p>\n<p>Attestation Deadlines &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The deadline for attesting to the Medicare EHR Incentive Program is 2\/28\/2017<\/li>\n<li>The deadline for attest to the Montana Medicaid EHR Incentive Program is 3\/31\/17<\/li>\n<li>Please check your state SLR to find out the dates for your individual states<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more detailed information, here is a link to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpqhf.org\/corporate\/health-and-technology-services\/webinar-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\">MU Webinar<\/a> we held on 12\/8.<\/p>\n<p>As always, please feel free to <a href=\"mailto:pkosednar@mpqhf.org\" target=\"_blank\">contact me<\/a> with any questions, comments or recommendations.<br \/>\nGood Luck!!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to the HTS Meaningful Use Blog<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/b-xSTj\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#385173;border-color:#2d415c;border-radius:5px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#ffffff;padding:0px 30px;font-size:22px;line-height:44px;border-color:#74869d;border-radius:5px;text-shadow:0px 0px 0px #f4f4f4\"> Subscribe<\/span><\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"boxzero\">\n<section id=\"boxone\">\n<p id=\"boxparagraph\"><strong>See a list of upcoming webinars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpqhf.org\/corporate\/health-and-technology-services\/upcoming-webinars\/\"><span class=\"link-spanner\">See a list of upcoming webinars<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"boxtwo\">\n<p id=\"boxparagraph\"><strong>Check out any webinars you missed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpqhf.org\/corporate\/health-and-technology-services\/webinar-materials\/\"><span class=\"link-spanner\">Check out any webinars you missed<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<aside id=\"boxthree\">\n<p id=\"boxparagraph\"><strong>See our MU resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpqhf.org\/corporate\/health-and-technology-services\/meaningful-use\/\"><span class=\"link-spanner\">See our MU resources<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Final Meaningful Use List of Tasks for 2016 December 19, 2016 Written by Patty Kosednar Well, we are almost to the end of 2016.
