ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- To ensure the measure is only looking for a cervical cytology test only after a woman turns 21 years of age, the youngest age in the initial population is 23. Therefore, the female patient must be at least 23 years and younger than 64 years of age prior to the start of the measurement period.
- It is recommend to include the code used to document the Pap Test in a health maintenance/preventive care procedure checklist.
- The LOINC code for the Pap Test preformed must be linked to a result and must contain the date that the Pap Test 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 Pap Test.
- If using the SNOMED code to indicate hysterectomy, it must be linked to an applicable entry in the patient’s surgical history. This is done via the surgical history button in a note.
- 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.
