Is there a way to count the portal for MU if the patient declines to sign-up?
We populate the obs term PATPORTALPIN with the phrase "Offered but declined" - CQR only looks to see if the obs term is populated.
Our schedulers use an encounter form we call the "Quick Form" to document this information as well as a few other things
Hope that helps.

The solution proposed by Amanda would work, counting towards CQR compliance. I just wanted to offer one caveat - the PIN is essentially a temporary password and you probably would stay away (or your IT Dept would) from a password that was simply 'password'. Similarly, the solution you proposed works, but from a safety/security perspective, I would suggest adding random letters/numbers to the end of the "Offered but declined".
