Does anyone plan on using the NYS I-STOP program as a registry for MU? According to the CMS Final Rules:
We further note that we have previously
supported the inclusion of a variety of registries under the specialized registry measure,
including Prescription Drug Monitoring Program reporting and electronic case reporting.
We agree that a variety of registries may be considered specialized registries, which
allows providers the flexibility to report using a registry that is most helpful to their
patients. Therefore, we will continue to allow these registries to be considered
specialized registries for purposes of reporting the EHR Reporting period in 2015, 2016,
and 2017.
If our providers are all registered for this program and are using it - does this mean we can count this as our registry?
I would also be very interested in any answers on this as NY has a very limited amount of registries that are available for attesting.
