We use a custom "preventive health form" that indicates when patients are due for immunizations, screenings, etc.

This form does not log an event to the audit trail, so there's no way to substantiate that the provider used the form.

I'm curious what others are doing to demonstrate that they met this measure.

What measure are you trying to meet (substantiate) with this process?

This was Stage 2 measure 6 before the rule change:

Use clinical decision support to improve performance on high-priority health conditions.

Implement five clinical decision support interventions related to four or more clinical quality measures at a relevant point in patient care for the entire EHR reporting period. Absent four clinical quality measures related to an EP’s scope of practice or patient population, the clinical decision support interventions must be related to high-priority health conditions.

The MU user guide states:

System auditing automatically logs user responses to alerts and care suggestions created with MEL decision support functions. You can optionally track, record, and generate reports on the number of alerts responded to by a user.

As far as I can tell, "MEL decision support functions" mean Pop-up care alerts, and protocols. We use pop-up care alerts very sparingly. The providers hate them. Protocols are available, but seldom used.

I make sure I have screen shot of all my CDS interventions and keep then on file in case of an audit. I use test patients to trigger the system, then you can prove they were in place during the reporting period.
