MU Reporting for 2013 v1.10.1 (Retrospective
reports compatible with CEMR 9.8) Now Available
Dear
Centricity™ EMR Customer,
Under the new flexibility rule finalized by CMS on August 29, 2014, some
Eligible Professionals (EPs) may qualify to satisfy the 2014 Meaningful Use
requirements by reporting against CMS 2013 (Stage 1) Functional and Quality
Measures, even if they have upgraded to Centricity EMR (CEMR) 9.8 and were
scheduled for Stage 1 or Stage 2 this year. To help guide you through the
rule’s participation options, we have posted these slides from our recent webinar (updated September 12) and a new interactive decision tool on this topic to the Service Portal.
In response to the final rule, we have released a new version of Crystal
Reports (1.10.1) that is compatible with CEMR 9.8 or higher. The reports in
this release enable qualifying EPs to report on data that was collected prior to upgrade, using a 2011 edition certified EHR
technology release (Centricity EMR v9.5, v9.6). These reports can be downloaded
from the Customer Service Portal: https://engage.gehealthcare.com/community/en/emr/mu
Again, these
reports will look back at data prior to your upgrade to assist in understanding
your MU results. We hope you find these reports and educational resources
valuable as you prepare for attestation.
So....perhaps I'm missing something here, but how do you report for a period in which you have upgraded? I can't run Crystal reports for part of the reporting period and then run the new reports for the rest...
