Hi All,

I feel like this is a dumb question but I cannot find any definitive answers - in Stage 1 there were two alternate CPOE Medication reporting methods - is that removed from Stage 2? I cannot find an option on the CQR and I don't see anything on CMS but I am still not convinced as I was asked where this data was by someone I assumed to be in the know - any clarification would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Mike

You are correct that there is only one option in Stage 2 now for CPOE Meds. Stage 1 still contains two. In the originally written MU law, the denominator was based upon patients seen, regardless as to their medication status. If providers didn't write meds for the patients they saw (ex: Peds, Specialists), they could never pass! The alternate measure was intended to count CPOE for only those patients who had Meds entered. The 'alternate' from Stage 1 is now the default which is a good thing.

Thanks James, I was about 95% sure this was the case but I was a bit hesitant since the person who asked is supposed to be "in the know".
