ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

•  The female patient must be 51 and older or younger than 74 before the start of the measurement period.

•  It is recommend to include the code used to document the mammogram in a health maintenance/preventive care procedure checklist.

•   If using the LOINC code for the Mammogram preformed, it must be linked to a result and must contain the date that the Mammogram was done in the procedure order date.  If a result does not exist, a fake procedure code can be added via Practice Manager and then marked as a result and linked the the appropriate LOINC Code in Clinical.

•   The LOINC code should NOT be linked to the code used to order the Mammogram. 

•  The only data used to determine the denominator is data from the ChartMaker Clinical Module. If a patient encounter was not entered into the ChartMaker Clinical Module, that encounter is not included in the denominator for the statistical calculations on the Meaningful Use Dashboard. Please add these additional patients to the denominator and recalculate the percentage for Attestation purposes.
