  1. Stage 2 Meaningful Use:What You Need to Know Tri-State Regional Extension Center

  2. Definition of Meaningful Use • Use of ONC-HIT Certified Electronic Health Records (EHR) • Electronic Exchange of Health Information • Quality Reporting

  3. HITECH: Policy Framework Better care for individuals, better health for populations, and lower per-capita costs. IHI-Triple Aim Initiative

  4. Why S2MU Matters • Stage 2 Meaningful Use serves as a foundation for other health care innovation initiatives • S2MU is a glide path to: • Accountable care organizations • Medical home • Payment reform initiatives

  5. Meaningful Use – Who is eligible for incentives? No Changes from Stage 1 Meaningful Use

  6. Medicare Payment Adjustments • Medicare EPs who are not meaningful users will be subject to a payment adjustment beginning on January 1, 2015.

  7. Medicare Payment Adjustments • % Adjustment Assuming Less than 75% of EPs are Meaningful Users

  8. Medicare Payment Adjustments • % Adjustment Assuming More than 75% of EPs are Meaningful Users

  9. Medicare Payment Adjustments • EPs who first demonstrated meaningful use in 2011 or 2012 must demonstrate meaningful use for a full year in 2013 to avoid payment adjustments in 2015. They must continue to demonstrate meaningful use every year to avoid payment adjustments in subsequent years.

  10. Hardship Exceptions for Medicare EPs • EPs can apply for hardship exceptions in the following categories: • Infrastructure • New EPs • Unforeseen circumstances • By specialist/provider type

  11. For Medicare Hospitals:

  12. Contrasting S1MU to S2MU An Overview

  13. Stage 2 Meaningful Use Overview • Stage 2 Meaningful Use (S2MU) Final Rule was published on August 23, 2012. • Beginning in 2014, providers participating in the EHR Incentive Programs who have met Stage 1 for 2 or 3 years will need to meet S2MU criteria.

  14. What is in the Rule • Changes to Stage 1 of Meaningful Use • Stage 2 of Meaningful Use • New clinical quality measures (CQMs) • New CQM reporting mechanisms • Medicaid program changes

  15. S2MU Change in Total Objectives Required

  16. How to Get to S2MU • 17 Core Objectives 3 of 6 Menu Objectives 9 Clinical Quality Measures Meaningful Use

  17. Key Changes to Stage 1 Meaningful Use • Menu Objective Exclusion– While you can continue to claim exclusions if applicable for menu objectives, starting in 2014 these exclusions will no longer count towards the number of menu objectives needed.

  18. Medicaid Eligibility Changes • The definition of what constitutes a Medicaid patient encounter has changed. • A Medicaid encounter now includes anyone enrolled in a Medicaid program, including: • Medicaid expansion encounters (excluding stand alone Title 21) • Zero-pay claims

  19. Medicaid Eligibility Changes • States have the option to allow providers to calculate Medicaid patient volume across 90-day period in last 12 months preceding a provider’s attestation. • This also applies to needy patient volume and patient panel methodology with at least one Medicaid encounter taking place in the 24 months prior to the 90-day period.

  20. 2014 Changes • EHRs Meeting ONC 2014 Standards – starting in 2014, all EHR Incentive Programs participants will have to adopt certified EHR technology that meets ONC’s Standards & Certification Criteria 2014 Final Rule

  21. 2014 Changes • Reporting Period Reduced to Three Months – to allow providers time to adopt 2014 certified EHR technology and prepare for Stage 2, all participants will have a three-month reporting period in 2014. • All providers regardless of their stage of meaningful use are only required to demonstrate meaningful use for a three-month EHR reporting period.

  22. 2014 Changes • For Medicare providers, this 3-month reporting period is fixed to the quarter of either the fiscal (for eligible hospitals and CAHs) or calendar (for EPs) year in order to align with existing CMS quality measurement programs, such as the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR).

  23. 2014 Changes • For Medicaid providers only eligible to receive Medicaid EHR incentives, the 3-month reporting period is not fixed, where providers do not have the same alignment needs. CMS is permitting this one-time three-month reporting period in 2014 only so that all providers who must upgrade to 2014 Certified EHR Technology will have adequate time to implement their new Certified EHR systems.

  24. Stage 2: Batch Reporting • Stage 2 MU rules allows for batch reporting: • Starting in 2014, groups will be allowed to submit attestation information for all of their individual EPs in one file for upload to the Attestation System, rather than having each EP individually enter data.

  25. How do CQMs relate to the CMS Incentive Programs? • Although reporting CQMs is no longer a core objective of the EHR Incentive Programs, all providers are required to report on CQMs in order to demonstrate Meaningful Use. • In 2014 and beyond, reporting programs (i.e., PQRS, eRx reporting) will be streamlined in order to reduce provider burden.

  26. Alignment Among Programs • 2014 represents CMS’s commitment to aligning quality measurement and reporting among programs, including Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program, PQRS, CHIPRA, and ACO Programs.

  27. Reporting CQMs in 2014 and Beyond • Beginning in 2014, all Medicare-eligible providers in their second year and beyond of demonstrating meaningful use must electronically report their CQM data to CMS. • Medicaid providers will electronically report their CQM data to their state.
