We are currently using Centricity EMR 9.5.4 and upgrading to EMR 9.8.5. We do not currently use CCC content, only custom forms. I'm getting conflicting information from GE on whether we have to install both the CCC8.3.8 and CCC Basic Full or if we can just install the CCC Basic to be able to capture everything needed for MU Stage II reporting. We installed it in our test environment but all the ccc content really junked up our encounters, handouts, etc.
Do I have to install the CCC 8.3.8 content or can I just install the CCC Basic Full version and still meet the measures?
CCC Basic should do it. The downside of Basic is that you don't get different Specialty choices.
Try to get the latest version of the MU Form which exists with CCC 9.0. Not sure that is part of the Basic download.
Only import the forms or pick-lists you are going to use.
Remember that you can also build all the MU2 'Basic' functionality into your own forms.
I'll just add that there is a CCC_Basic_FAQ document on the service portal that you may or may not have seen yet. I doesn't specifically say that all you need is basic for MU, but I think it is implied.
Thank you for the information. One follow up question: If we only import CCC Basic and later feel that we should have installed CCC9.0, is there anything special (sequencing) we need to think about before we install it?
I don't believe so, I think only specially sequence is needed is if you want to use CCC 8.3.8 and CCC Basic included with 9.8
you can also get from GE the FH/SH- CCC text files for all sepcialties.
