Anyone else had this request on an audit , any suggestions on how to provide what they are asking for?
Objective Measure #2A - Clinical Decision Support- Screenshots of five different clinical decision support interventions in the CEHRT system were supplied. However, additional documentation is needed to demonstrate that these interventions remained active throughout the EP's reporting period (i.e. a schedule of alerts related to clinical decision support interventions that fired during the reporting period or an indication that the interventions cannot be turned off).
Objective Measure #2B - Clinical Decision Support- A screenshot of the Drug Interaction Functionality (Drug-Drug & Drug-Allergy) within the EHR system was supplied. However, additional documentation is needed to demonstrate that the drug interaction functionality remained active throughout the EP's reporting period (i.e. a schedule of alerts that fired during the reporting period or an indication that the feature cannot be turned off).
Hi Ty, shoot me an email. I can help you through that.
We have not, but I would like to hear how to address that from the front end so that we can be prepared in the future should we be audited with that question. I have lots of documentation but am not sure how i would prove it was on the entire reporting period?
That was my issue, I had everything ready and replied to the audit in an hour. Then they sent this back 3 weeks later.
Under Chart reports > MedicaLogic > All audited events - select MEL decision support, you can run this to show how many time the CDS was used during the reporting period. Of course, depending on how many times CDS was triggered it won't confirm that they were active the entire time, but it may be a start.
I am currently responding to two audits and would appreciate the info as well. thanks!
