Are their any other residency programs who have already attested for MU? We have 13 eligible providers who see their own patients in clinic at our office but they also are preceptors for residents in clinic.
We need to know if those who have already attested if you reported on just the patients the eligible provider saw or did you include the patients that they were preceptors for who saw the residents?
Right now our reports are only capturing the patients who the eligible providers actually saw in clinic.
Any help in this subject will be greatly appreciated.

We've attested for multiple Residency programs using the GE Crystal Reports. Those reports count patients both when seen by the Resident w/Faculty co-signature or solely by Faculty. The first few pages of the CR guide explain what gets counted (assuming both sites are on EMR).
Faculty weren't thrilled about having Resident visits in their counts, but our logic was that since the encounter gets billed under their name anyway, they have the billing/teaching responsibility to ensure that the Resident meets all the requirements as well.
At the end of the day, all the Faculty have made their numbers anyway.
