So I am concerned about our reminder letters. When we use the actionable reminders option through inquiries and go to print and save to chart it is listing who ever generated the letter as the provider and since they save as signed we cant change this in CPS 12. Is my doctor still getting credit , am I doing something wrong?

Your doctor should still be getting credit because they are listed as the responsible provider in registration. GE told me that the letters only record in CQR if the Preferred Method of contact in registration is set to Letter.

We are at 0% for this measure because we do not want to change that status on every patient.

I heard this measure is going away so we are holding off for now.

This is one of the core measures stripped from the proposed rule. The workflow is so ridiculous for it to count in the CQR we had not even attempted it back before the proposed rule was published.

I guess I will try and not stress it , waiting like all of you for the official ruling on the proposed changes. Then maybe start looking for something besides CQR for next year

We are testing this for one provider with a small number of patients today, just to be sure the process actually works. We are switching the preferred method of contact to Letter, documenting what the patient's ACTUAL preferred method of contact is on a spreadsheet, generating the letter, and once we see that it was properly captured in CQR we will go back in to reinstate the true preferred method of contact. It's ridiculous.

We have used the suggested workflow, you have to make sure each step is done or it will not count in CQR. It does work but is very time consuming, so we are letting it go for now and hoping the rule changes.

Any update on this? Like others, we have been holding off on satisfying this measure in hopes that the rule changes.

Are they planning to change both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 versions of this? Stage 1 (menu 4) is just a reminder but stage 2 (core 12) is a preventive care reminder. Essentially the same thing just generating a different report to get your patient population.
