Required Data Elements for the Numerator:
This is documented via the Referral Button in a Chart Note
or
By right-clicking the Referral via the Facesheet
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
• The provider to whom the patient was referred should be the same provider that sends the report.
• The response received can be indicated in any note separate from the one where there referral was created.
• 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.
