As you know, several MU measures involve some kind of time limit. For example, the clinical visit summary needs to be printed within one day. We're scratching our heads trying to figure out whether CPS considers weekends in this calculation.

On July 20th, we received an email from a GE tech who quoted the MU User Guide as saying, "Currently, weekend days are not excluded" (emphasis mine).

Yesterday I downloaded the July 2015 revision of the MU User Guide, opened to the CVS measure, and it reads, "Currently, weekend days are excluded."

So now I have no idea if this is a functionality change, or a typo, or who's right and who's wrong. I'm trying to get a response from the tech, and considering opening a ticket to get a firm answer. In the meantime, does anyone happen to know the answer?

I would like to know the answer to this question myself. I have some offices that see patients for a half-day on Saturdays and wonder if I need to count those as "business days". When it comes to asking anyone at GE about MU, I have not found anyone who actually knows anything more than we do.

According to GE's MU document holidays, as well as Saturdays and Sundays, are not counted as business days. This document is the August 2015 revision.
