ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- It is recommended to use the immunization procedure code when documenting the status of the Pneumococcal Vaccination. It must contain the date that the vaccination was done in the procedure order date. It is recommend to include this in a health maintenance/preventive care procedure checklist.
- If the vaccination was not done in your office or if the record is being transferred from paper to electronic form, use the Historical check box on the immunization procedure screen.
- 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.
