  8. Stage 2 MU PH Reporting Requirements - Are you ready? Registration of Intent 2014 3-MonthEHR Reporting Period MONTH 1 MONTH 2 MONTH 3 60-Day Period for Providers to Register Intent with PHAs 2015 Full Year EHR Reporting Period 12 MONTHS 60-Day Period for Providers to Register Intent with PHAs Providers must register their intent with the PHA within the first 60 days of their EHR reporting period

  9. Stage 2 MU PH Reporting Requirements - Are you ready? On-boarding • PHAs will onboard Providers that register their intent to submit data for the MU objectives. Separate onboarding is required for each MU objective. • PHA prioritize Providers that register • PHA invites Provider to begin testing and validation • PHA and Provider engage in data testing and validation • After successful testing and validation Provider initiates ongoing submission CMS Final Rule: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-09-04/pdf/2012-21050.pdf(Page 54022) ..... successful ongoing submission as electronic submission of reportable data during the normal course of a provider’s operations. This is not to say all data that is reportable is sent to the PHA. A provider who is submitting any reportable data during their normal course of their operations is engaged in ongoing submission.

  10. Scenario 1 • Submitting the required public health data prior to Stage 2 using a 2014 ONC certified EHR AND • Continues to submit during the EPs reporting period Stage 2 MU PH Reporting Requirements - Are you ready? On-boarding • Scenario 2 • Registered intent within 60 days of the EPs reporting period AND • Achieved ongoing submission during the Stage 2 reporting period Providers can attest YES to meeting the measure, if one of four scenarios are met: • Scenario 3 • Registered intent within 60 days of the EPs reporting period AND • Engaged in the required testing and validation process leading to ongoing submission • Scenario 4 • Registered intent within 60 days of the EPs reporting period AND • Awaiting an invitation to engage in the required testing and validation process

  11. Scenario 1 • Fails to register their intent by the deadline Stage 2 MU PH Reporting Requirements - Are you ready? On-boarding • Fails to participate in the onboarding process as demonstrated by failure to respond to the PHA written requests for action within 30 days on two separate occasions. Providers will NOT meet the measure, if they fail to respond to PHA requests Scenario 2 CMS Final Rule: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-09-04/pdf/2012-21050.pdf(Page 54021) The measure will not be met if the provider— • Fails to register their intent by the deadline; or • Fails to participate in the onboarding process as demonstrated by failure to respond to the PHA written requests for action within 30 days on two separate occasions.

  12. Stage 2 MU PH Reporting Requirements - Are you ready? Acknowledgement • PHAs provide written communications affirming Providers are able to submit relevant public health data to the PHA (Provider achieved ongoing submission). The Providers use this written communication to support their attestation. • Examples of written communications include, but are not limited to: • Email sent to provider • Letter mailed to provider • HL7 Acknowledgement Messages from Immunization/Syndromic submissions • Posting information on PHA website CMS Final Rule: http://www.federalregister.gov/a/2012-21050/p-1018 Comment: Commenters suggested that the expectation that public health agencies provide affirmation letters is too restrictive in accomplishing the goal of established a record of communication between the provider and the PHA. They maintain that there are simpler and less burdensome ways such as automated acknowledgment messages from immunization submissions. Response: We agree that our proposal requiring it must be a letter is too restrictive and revise our expectation to allow for any written communication (which may be in electronic format) from the PHA affirming that the EP, eligible hospital or CAH was able to submit the relevant public health data to the PHA.
