At CHUG they stated that only initial or new prescriptions are counted for Meaningful Use. Is this correct? I cannot find any supporting documentation out there!

I think the conversation around this is due to the requirement of all reportable prescriptions be coded in order to be counted in the MU report. By default, new prescriptions are coded because they are searched and selected from the master reference list, which lists only updated and coded meds - after the latest eSM and Knowledge Base installs. Medications on med lists that were added previous to the latest eSM upgrade and/or KB install have the potention of being uncoded. This is evident if when refilling a med from the med list the quanity is blank or "unspecified." Or if the medication, when sent electronically, creates the error "900
No NDC or compound or supply code in message for MedicationPrescribed". In either case, the medication should be ended on the med list and added new. Once added new, it is updated to the coded med and can be refilled as coded and counted for MU. Numerous calls to GE due to these errors have come back with this explaination, and the requirement for our providers to end these uncoded meds as they are discovered and add new to fix the coding. It's clunky but will eventually result in all med lists updated to coded meds. For MU. Hope this helps.
