Where can I find it?
Clinical: Reports > MIPS Dashboard
What do I need to know?
The MIPS Dashboard Configuration dialog has been updated with a Promoting Interoperability Exclusions section that allows you to configure whether or not you are excluded for the E-Prescribing, Support Electronic Referral Loops by Sending Health Information, and/or Support Electronic Referral Loops by Receiving and Incorporating Health Information measures for the 2019 performance period. For each of these measures, the system will default the Not Excluded option, and you can modify the applicable measures to Excluded, as needed.
Do note, the Promoting Interoperability Exclusions section will only appear when the Performance period field contains a date range for 2019 (between 1/1/2019 and 12/31/2019).
A corresponding Do I qualify? link will appear for this section, when clicked opens a MIPS Category Requirements dialog that outlines the Promoting Interoperability Exclusions, including information not only concerning the requirements for an EC to qualify for the exclusion, but also the point redistribution when an exclusion occurs.
Whenever you change the settings in Promoting Interoperability Exclusions section in the MIPS Dashboard Configuration dialog, and then click the OK button to save them, a Recalculate MIPS Results dialog will appear after exiting, and your Quality and Promoting Interoperability results will be reset and you will have to recalculate the results.
When exclusions have been configured for the Promoting Interoperability measures in the MIPS Dashboard Configuration dialog, an Exclusion indicator will appear in the Score column for the applicable measure in the Performance Category Measures section of the Promoting Interoperability dialog. When calculating results, the Numerator, Denominator, and Results percentage will appear, but a score will not be displayed for these measures, as the scoring will be redistributed to other measures. Likewise, when an excluded measure is selected in this section, the Reconciliation Report button will be disabled, and you will not be able to run a reconciliation report for that excluded measure. When multiple measures are selected that includes non-excluded measures with excluded measures, the Reconciliation Report button will be enabled, but excluded measures will not be included in the report.
