Has anyone been told by GE that their CQR resubscribe should go back prior to 2015? We are being told the best time range for our organization is to go back to 2012? Since CQR has only been around for a year we are puzzled by this request. We have been told our data numbers look low and we should do this to make sure our data is captured.
Does this make any sense to you guys out there?
Also, how is SP11 going for CEMR users?
Thanks,
Kathy

We were told 2015 as well for CQR. We just installed SP11 into our EMR on Tuesday and are still testing - we've not ran into anything yet.
NOTE: When the date is reset, it's going to use a lot of resources. Make sure the JBoss server has at least 12GB RAM.
We have a separate JBoss to handle CQR and HIE jobs.

Thanks for the information on jBoss. I will pass it on.

When we did our initial CQR "refresh" (the first of 3 times) we went back three years to "get past data". I'm not focused on the CQMs (I delegated that to a poor, poor fellow analyst that I now feel bad for) so I don't know if there are CQMs that can pull data from that far back but, as for the MU measures, nothing from before the start of the calendar year you are reporting in should be evaluated so I don't know why they are making you go that far back (pending the CQM potential).
I assume it either relates to an unknown CQM or it is because that is what they used to say and the script hasn't been updated to address the new measures (the removal of the patient reminders, whose denominator was based on past visits outside of the current year).
I do find it interesting that they are still asking for this to be done (and in fact making everyone do it before the end of the year). Will this not change provider numbers, and potentially impact workflow, causing some people who were passing to no longer be passing (and granting a whopping 3 weeks, in a vacation happy month, to adjust and make up)?

There is at least one CMS measure that I know of that goes back to 2012 for data. CMS61, patient population 3.

That is probably the reason! Good find.
