EHR FAQWhat is Modified Stage 2? On October 7, 2015, CMS released a new Final Rule that made the reporting requirements for meaningful use easier for 2015 through 2017. CMS then released another Final Rule on 8/02/2017 extending the ability to report for Modified Stage 2 through 2018. See Modified Stage 2 What is the difference between Participation Year, Meaningful Use (MU) Year and Stage of MU? CMS uses each term to identify a progression through the EHR Incentive Program.
What is an Objective / Measure? In Modified Stage 2, there is a single set of 10 objectives. Within each objective is a measure (or measures) that a provider must satisfy to demonstrate meaningful use. Some measures have an exclusion that a provider may or may not qualify for. In addition, providers must report on EHR Clinical Quality Measures. Open Dental calculates 9 CQMs. What is a Reporting Period? The period of time for which an Eligible Professional (EP) must demonstrate meaningful use of a certified EHR software. The duration of the reporting period depends on your incentive payment year. |
