ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

  • Cognition can be assessed by the clinician during the patient’s clinical history.
  • The only data used to determine the denominator is data from ChartMaker Clinical. If a patient encounter was not entered into Clinical, that encounter is not included in the denominator for the statistical calculations on the MIPS Dashboard. Please add these additional patients to the denominator and recalculate the percentage for Attestation purposes.
