Why you need a patient portalH
What are these new Patient Engagement requirements in 2014?
• New MU stage 1 Objective to replace Core #12 and Menu #5 which
requires online access to patients (ability to view, download and transmit)
• MU stage 2 Core Objective #7 – Two measures:
• Measure 1 - Provide online access to patients for more than 50% of patients.
• Measure 2 - More than 5% of patients must actually access (ability to view,
download and transmit) their health information
• MU stage 2 Core Objective #17 - More than 5% of patients must send
secure messages to the Eligible Professional
This means, for the or the first timeH
• You are directly responsible for getting the patients to use technology
• You need to start implementing a certified portal and secure messaging system, like
NextGen Patient Portal, as early as possible to start building toward the required
numerator thresholds.
