Has anybody successfully submitted the quality measure? If so , could you share your approach: forms, mapping, etc. Currently I have problems with inappropriate patients in denominator, and no patients in the numerator.

We have figured out that we need to create an order for Stage 2.

Was struggling with the exact same thing.

Wonder if there is a guide available, that would help people understand what they need to do. Especially since it seems that you can define "Tobacco Non-User" - one would think some patients would be in the numerator as never smokers. (Actually, this is pre-built by GE in the Data Mapping.)

Further, the "Smoking cessation education" is pre-built with "SMOK ADVICE" allowing Y, yes and done.

So confusing.

I am getting credit (net perfect) through CQR for this measure. However, we use CQIC templates and are documenting according to the guide that GE has availble for the MU measures which tells what workflows you need to succeed. The numbers are not perfect when I review the results but at least it is a start and the patients showing up in the numerator have been assessed and if a smoker given a handout from the American Cancer Society about the issues regading smoking and smoking cessation. We also then (because e are a specialty practice) refer them to their PCP for guidance and treatment. Our percetage should be 100% because we ask the questions of all of our patients and have that documented in their records. Happy to share mrore if needed just email me. [email protected]

The order is part of the "cam" conditional action metrics and attaches a Sno-med code. If you have them turned on the cam's should automatically add the order when the CVS in generated.
