Clinical Quality Measures:

To successfully demonstrate Meaningful Use, EPs are also required to report clinical quality measures (CQMs) that are specific to the EP. Providers will report using the criteria set forth in 2014 regardless of what stage they are currently in.  CQMs may be reported electronically, or via attestation.

  • The EP must report on 9 out of 64 available CQMs.

    • NOTE:  You will only be able to select CQMs that are certified for ChartMaker® Medical Suite.  A complete list of the 64 available CQMs can be found at:  http://tinyurl.com/o45jr6c
