Would anyone be willing to share an EMR inquiry that they have written to help providers meet the Patient Reminders measure? We're currently running an inquiry to send patient reminders to patients who have been receiving allergy injections but not had a OV in the last year but in many cases, we're missing the patient population that should be in the denominator (patients that have had 2 OVs in the last 24 months prior to the reporting period). Any ideas would be appreciated!
Hi,
Please forgive me for jumping in if you were already aware. The patient reminder measure will be eliminated with the notice of proposed rule making (NPRM) for 2015. I recognize this is not a final decision. However, as CMS is holding webinar presentations to provide clarification on the proposals, we are certain it will happen. Just wanted to point that out so you might be able to reprioritize if you choose.
