Challenges
eCW has not been able to provide any mechanism to retrospectively research this measure
eCW Chat has indicated to some health centers that they are only counting formulary that has been run and set (matched to an insurance). ◦ Confirmed with eCW MU team that for MU Numerator you just have to run the Rx Eligibility Check and prescribe within 72 hours. You do not have to set the formulary.
◦ Be sure that providers manually check Rx Eligibility for Telephone Encounters and Walk In Appointments
3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 38
Group Discussion
3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 39
Are your providers having trouble getting credit for this measure now that it requires they check the formulary?
Are you using the eCW Automation features?
What’s working well for you?

3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 72
Providers that fail to respond within 30 calendar days to PHA requests for action on two (2) separate occasions will not meet the public health measure for which action was requested
Public Health – 3 Measure Options
3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 73
• Must be Actively Engaged in 2 out of 3 registries to meet the measure. • Must start Active Engagement within 60 days of the start of the reporting
period.• Some exclusions may apply but don’t count as meeting the measure.
• Immunization Registry
Use only 1 registry
• Syndromic Registry
Use only 1 registry
• Specialized Registry
Use up to 2 registries
Modified Stage 2 MeasureImmunization Registry Reporting
3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 74
The Eligible Provider is in active engagement with a public health agency to submit immunization data. ◦ Maximum of 1 immunization registry can be used
Exclusions: ◦ Does not administer any immunizations to any of the populations for which data is collected by its jurisdiction’s immunization registry or immunization information system.
◦ No immunization registry is capable of accepting the standards required at the start of the reporting period.
◦ No immunization registry has declared readiness.
Modified Stage 2 Measure Syndromic Surveillance Reporting
3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 75
The Eligible Provider is in active engagement with a public health agency to submit syndromic surveillances data.
Exclusions: ◦ Is not in a category of providers from which syndromic surveillance data is collected by their jurisdiction’s syndromic surveillance system;
◦ Operates in a jurisdiction for which no public health agency is capableof receiving electronic syndromic surveillance data from EPs in the specific standards at the start of the reporting period; or
◦ Operates in a jurisdiction where no public health agency has declared readiness to receive syndromic surveillance data at the start of the reporting period.
Modified Stage 2 Measure Specialized Registry Reporting
3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 76
The EP, eligible hospital, or CAH is in active engagement to submit data to a specialized registry. Includes cancer case reporting. Can count the measure up to two times.
Exclusions:◦ Does not diagnose or treat any disease or condition associated with or collect relevant data that is required by a specialized registry in their jurisdiction during the EHR reporting period;
◦ Operates in a jurisdiction for which no specialized registry is capable of accepting electronic registry transactions in the specific standards required to meet the CEHRT definition at the start of the EHR reporting period; or
◦ Operates in a jurisdiction where no specialized registry for which the EP, eligible hospital, or CAH is eligible has declared readiness to receive electronic registry transactions at the beginning of the EHR reporting period
How can I use a Specialized Registry?
3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 77
1•Confirm data supplied to the registry is collected in the CEHRT
2
•Verify the registry publically broadcasts they are a “specialized registry” for MU and has an onboarding process that matches “Active Engagement”
•Document you are in one of the 3 Active Engagement Steps
3•Submit data electronical from CEHRT or via electronic file upload based on the requirements of the registry.
Specialized registries could include, but are not limited to: birth defects registries, chronic disease registries, traumatic injury registries, and registries focused on healthcare associated infections. (Does not have to be within state health departments)http://www.cdc.gov/ehrmeaningfuluse/specialized_registry.html
Additional Considerations
• Broadly defined• No Certification requirements• Cancer case reporting requires
CEHRT standards• Registry needs to document
provider’s “active engagement”• Actively engage within 60 days
after the start of the reporting period
• Hand-entered data into web-based portal does not qualify
CHCANYS CPCI – Specialized Registry
3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 78
Providers utilizing CPCI for the entire reporting period (90 day or 1 year) can attest for a Specialized Registry in 2016.
Providers or organizations on behalf of their providers can submit an Excel file to request an audit letter for payment year 2016 after the provider has completed the reporting period. CHCANYS will confirm that the provider has been on CPCI for the entire reporting period and provide letter to support an audit.

New CMS FAQ 14397
3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 79
FAQ #14397 (New): What should a provider do in 2016 if they did not previously intend to report to a public health reporting measure that was previously a menu measure in Stage 2 and they do not have the necessary software in CEHRT or the interface the registry requires available in their health IT systems?
In the 2015 EHR Incentive Programs Final Rule, we stated that we did not intend for providers to be inadvertently penalized for changes to their systems or reporting made necessary by the provisions of that regulation. This included alternate exclusions for providers for certain measures in 2016, which might require the acquisition of additional technologies they did not previously have for measures they did not previously intend to include in their activities for meaningful use (80 FR 62945). Therefore, in order that providers are not held accountable to obtain and implement new or additional systems, we will allow providers to claim an alternate exclusion from certain public health reporting measures in 2016 if they did not previously intend to report to the Stage 2 menu measures
We will allow Alternate Exclusions for the Public Health Reporting Objective in 2016 as follows:
EPs scheduled to be in Stage 1 and Stage 2: Must attest to at least 2 measures from the Public Health Reporting Objective Measures 1‐3
• May claim an Alternate Exclusion for Measure 2 and Measure 3 (Syndromic Surveillance and Specialized Registry Reporting).
• An Alternate Exclusion may only be claimed for up to two measures, then the provider must either attest to or meet the exclusion requirements for the remaining measure described in 495.22 (e)(10)(i)(C).
Public Health Exclusions
3/17/16 HEALTH CENTER NETWORK OF NEW YORK 80
Is there a Public Health registry available in your jurisdiction?
• Does it exist?
Is the provider in a category of
providers which they accept data
• Do they want your data?
Does the treat or provide that type of treatment?
• Do you create that type of data?
