                                                                                Meaningful Use Overview
   What is Meaningful Use
     The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA Legislation) authorizes the Centers
     for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide reimbursement incentives for eligible
     professionals who are successful in becoming “meaningful users” of certified EHR technology.
     These incentives were created to encourage adoption of EHRs to achieve specified improvements
     in care delivery and promote advancement in health care processes and outcomes.

     Simply put, "meaningful use" means providers need to show they're using certified EHR
     technology in ways that can be measured significantly in quality and in quantity. In addition to
     the monetary incentives, the adoption of EHRs can improve quality of care, advance patient
     safety, increase customer satisfaction and enhance office efficiency. Facilities and practices using
     a certified EHR may also experience increased profitability through reduced costs and increased
     revenue.

     While the incentives offer a positive push toward EHR use, do keep in mind that an eligible
     provider isn’t meaningfully using a certified EHR by 2015, penalties will be assessed via Medicare
     payment reductions. For more details on Meaningful Use, refer to the CMS website at:
     http://www.cms.gov/EHRIncentivePrograms/.

   How do I Meet Meaningful Use Requirements?
     To qualify for incentive payments, meaningful use requirements must be met in the following
     ways:

                      Medicare EHR Incentive Program—Eligible professionals must successfully
                       demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic health record technology every
                       year they participate in the program.
                      Medicaid EHR Incentive Program—Eligible professionals may qualify for incentive
                       payments if they adopt, implement, upgrade or demonstrate meaningful use in their
                       first year of participation. They must successfully demonstrate meaningful use for
                       subsequent participation years.
                      Adopted: Acquired and installed certified EHR technology. (For example, can show
                       evidence of purchase.)
                      Implemented: Began using certified EHR technology. (For example, provide staff
                       training or data entry of patient demographic information into EHR.)
                      Upgraded: Expanded existing technology to meet certification requirements. (For
                       example, upgrade to certified EHR technology or add new functionality to meet the
                       definition of certified EHR technology.)
             NOTE: An Agency that only provides inpatient services won’t qualify for Meaningful Use. An
             Inpatient service is defined as one that is billed using a Place of Service Code of 21 or 23.

                                                                                                                                              Page 3 of 35

   What are the requirements for Stage 1 of Meaningful
   Use (2011 and 2012)?
     Meaningful use includes both a core set and a menu set of objectives that are specific to eligible
     professionals. An eligible provider must have legal access to a certified EHR or a combination of
     EHRs that cover 100% of the Stage 1 Meaningful Use requirements, including all of the Menu set.
     While an eligible provider can defer “using” five menu criteria they cannot defer “possessing” the
     software to meet those five criteria.

                      For eligible professionals, there are a total of 25 meaningful use objectives. To
                       qualify for an incentive payment, 20 of these 25 objectives must be met.
                               There are 15 required core objectives.
                               The remaining 5 objectives may be chosen from the list of 10 menu set
                                objectives. Beginning in 2013 these objectives become core.

     Core Set for Eligible Professionals:

   Implementation Models
     The products you’ll use for meaningful use will vary based on your implementation, particularly
     around medication management and orders. Typically, an outpatient (ambulatory) facility will use
     OrderConnect to manage medications and orders; an inpatient (hospital) will use Avatar Order
     Entry plus OrderConnect (for E-prescribing).

     There are three different implementation approaches related to lab results:

                 1. Avatar with OrderConnect
                 2. Avatar with Order Entry
                 3. Avatar with OrderConnect for outpatient and Order Entry for inpatient

                                                                                                                                             Page 10 of 35

             RULE OF THUMB: The system that contains your Medication Orders should also contain
             your Allergies. If you are using Avatar Order Entry to enter your Medication Orders then the
             Allergies must be recorded within Avatar CWS in the Allergies and Hypersensitivities Form.
             If you are using OrderConnect to enter your Medications, then all Allergies should be
             entered into OrderConnect.

   Order Entry Information
     Netsmart’s Avatar Order Entry facilitates the entry of all types of orders relating to client care in
     an Inpatient setting. The order types such as Dietary, Lab, Restraint, Therapy, Pharmacy, etc. can
     be filed electronically to expedite completion. Electronic filing of these orders provides
     uncomplicated subsequent accessing and review of orders.

     When using OrderConnect for orders and results, Avatar Order Entry is typically not used.
     However, temporarily, the Order Code Set up is needed to define the ARRA Measures Reporting
     set up for lab test codes and medication codes. This will eventually be replaced with a new
     function outside of Order Entry.

             NOTE: Clients implementing Avatar Order Entry will still need OrderConnect to satisfy the
             e-Prescribing Meaningful Use requirement.
                                                                                                                                             Page 12 of 35

Avatar Meaningful Use Kick Off Guide

             NOTE: Clients implementing Avatar Order Entry can meet the e-Prescribing Meaningful Use
             requirement if they have an internal pharmacy that they send prescriptions directly to using
             an HL7 interface.

   OrderConnect Information
     Netsmart’s OrderConnect is a secure, Web-based prescribing and medication management
     system that can be operated stand alone or integrated within an agency’s existing systems.

     A component of the ARRA EHR certification is the ability to produce reports (paper and electronic)
     on select measures. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and state Medicaid
     offices will use these measures to determine if a provider qualifies for the incentive monies as
     well as to monitor key national health issues. Some items to note:

                      Measures are for Ambulatory facilities and are provider based
                      For Ambulatory facilities the report applies to ‘eligible’ providers only; all other
                       providers are excluded. Eligible providers will be defined in Practitioner Enrollment by
                       the addition of an ARRA eligible provider field
                      The report does not include any client electronic protected health information (ePHI);
                       only counts and calculations (denominator, numerator, exclusions, and percentage
                       calculations).
                      Measures are based on specific client services, age ranges, problems, medications,
                       and allergies. New fields are available in service codes, problem codes, medications
                       and allergies to identify those codes that apply to each ARRA measure.
                      The measure denominator is the total number of clients, orders, etc. that comprise
                       the initial population. For most measures this is the number of unique clients seen by
                       the EP during the reporting period.
                      The measure numerator is a subset of the denominator that meets additional criteria
                       (e.g. only clients with Hypertension).
                      The exclusion count applies only to a few measures (e.g. excluding clients with
                       certain diseases or allergies).

     Measure Categories
     The measures are categorized as follows:

                          Meaningful Use Measures (MUM)
                          Clinical Quality Measures (CQM)

     Measures are reported in two formats: a human readable report (crystal report) and an electronic
     XML format (PQRI 2009 Registry XML Specification). Currently CQM are reported in both formats
     while MUM is reported in human readable report only.

     Measures Using Attending Practitioner
     Currently, the Attending Practitioner is used when processing the following ARRA Measures:

                      ALL CQM Measures
                      Electronic Copy to Clients

                                                                                                                                             Page 15 of 35

                      Patient Reminders
                      Medication Reconciliation
                      Summary of Care for Transitions Out

       Future Development for Attending Practitioner

       There is Development in process that will limit the need to define the Attending Practitioner as
       an Eligible Provider. Below is an outline of what the future development will do:

                      All CQM Measures- Will use the Rendering Practitioner
                      Electronic Copy to Clients- Will use the Rendering Practitioner
                      Patient Reminders- Will use the Rendering Practitioner. Each Eligible Provider who
                       saw the client during the reporting period will get credit for this Measure.
                      Medication Reconciliation- When using OrderConnect, the Medication Reconciliation
                       Practitioner that is sent from OrderConnect will be used. When using Avatar Order
                       Entry, the Practitioner who filed the Medication Reconciliation record will be used.
                      Summary of Care for Transitions Out- Will use the Discharge Practitioner if the
                       movement is a discharge. If the movement was not a discharge, then the Attending
                       Practitioner will be used.

   Clinical Quality Measures (CQM)
     Ambulatory facilities are required to provide a minimum of 6 CQM: 3 core and 3 non-cores.

                      If a core measure has a zero denominator the user must replace it with an alternate
                       core measure
                      If there are not 3 non-zero denominator core/alternate core measures then the user
                       must replace them with non-core measures
                      If any of the selected non-core measures have a zero denominator then the user
                       must replace it with another non-core measure
                      However, it is permissible to report a clinical quality measure that has a zero
                       denominator if there aren’t 6 measures that apply to the clients served by the eligible
                       provider.

                      While there are 38 non-core measures, most are very physical health oriented.
                       Initially, Avatar will include 4 non-core measures and more non-core measures may
                       be added in the future.

                                                                                                                                             Page 16 of 35

   Meaningful Use Measures
     Before an eligible provider (EP) can receive an incentive payment they must complete an
     attestation process with their state Medicaid office (Medicaid incentives) or with CMS (Medicare
     incentives). This is the process where the EP reports how well they did “meaningfully using” a
     certified EHR during the reporting period.

     The ARRA Measures Reporting Form creates a report of the Meaningful Use Measures that EPs
     then enter to the state Medicaid or CMS website when doing the attestation. In a future ARRA
     stage this will become an electronic file report. Also keep in mind that the first participation year
     in the Medicaid incentive program does not require you to report MU measures.

     Below is a general overview of the MU Measures. The Minimum % column indicates the
     percentages for reporting. If the measure does not need to be reported, “NR” will appear in this
     column.

   Creating the ARRA Measures Reports
     Prerequisites

     For information to be included in ARRA Measures reporting, the following must be defined in
     Avatar:

                      Service Codes Form: The service code must be associated with one or more ‘Include
                       Service in ARRA Measures’ fields.
                      Practitioner Enrollment Form: The practitioner must be associated with ARRA
                       reporting (Yes selected in the ARRA Reportable Measures field).
                      The service must be rendered within the reporting period (From Date field to Through
                       Date field).
                      The client’s Attending Practitioner is an eligible provider. Future development will
                       utilize other Practitioners, such as Rendering, for the ARRA Measures Reporting.
                      The Site Registry Setting must be set to either Ambulatory or Hospital to determine
                       what will be available for selection on the ARRA Measures Reporting Form.

     Launch the ARRA Measures Reporting Form to generate the ARRA Measures Reports for either the
     CQM Measures or the Meaningful Use Measures.

                                                                                                                                             Page 22 of 35

                      In the Action field:
                               Select ‘Compile Report’ to assemble Avatar ARRA measures information into a
                                file.
                               Select ‘Delete Compile’ to delete a compile assembled in this form. If
                                appropriate, the ARRA information can be compiled into another file.
                               Select ‘Edit Compile’ to change meaningful uses measures in a compile (Select
                                Meaningful Use Measure field).
                               Select ‘View Report’ to generate a report of information in the compile.
                               Select ‘Export XML File’ to create and XML file. This requires CareConnect to be
                                installed or the User will receive a message stating that the action is unavailable
                                without CareConnect.
                      In the Through Date field: Enter the report through date. This date field is very
                       important. Typically, the ARRA Measures Reporting Date for Eligible Providers, in an
                       Ambulatory setting, should be set to December 31 st. There are a few exceptions to
                       this rule outlined below:
                               1st year in the Medicare Incentive program and
                               2nd year in the Medicaid Incentive program (1st year is
                                adopt/upgrade/implement – no need to report measures)
                      With these exceptions, the reporting period is any 90 day period and the ARRA
                      Measures Reporting Date would then be the last day of that 90 day period.

                                                                                                                                             Page 23 of 35

                      The reporting date is important to the Clinical Quality Measure calculations that have
                      criteria tied to the start or end date. For example: here is part of the calculation for
                      the Antidepressant Medication Management: (a) Effective Acute Phase Treatment; (b)
                      Effective Continuation Phase Treatment measure:
                           The client’s first diagnosis of major depression was assessed anytime within the
                              date range of: = 245 days before
                              report end date
                      The Submission Method dictates the reporting period you wish to run ARRA Measures
                       Reports on. The field allows you to select 12 months, 6 months or 90 days. Medicare
                       requires this 90 day period in the first participation year. Medicaid requires 90 days in
                       the second year.
             NOTE: The 6 month time frame is no longer valid. An Eligible Providers will be reporting
             first on the 90 day reporting period and then the 12 month reporting period.
                      In the Name Of Compile field: Enter the compile name.
                      In the Select Clinical Quality Measures field: Choose the clinical quality measures to
                       include in the report.
                      In the Select Meaningful Use Measure field: Choose the meaningful use measures to
                       include in the report.
                      Click Process Action.

     Overriding Meaningful Use Measures (Edit Compile):
     Once an ARRA Measures file has been compiled, individual meaningful use measures included in
     the compile can be overridden. Users must select to Edit the compiled file and proceed to page 2
     of the Form. This step is necessary for any measure that isn’t currently being automatically
     calculated.

                      In the Select Meaningful Use Measure field, select the ARRA measure. Meaningful use
                       measured compiled will be available for selection.
                      'Override' fields - enter the associated override.
                      Click File Override command button to process the override.
                      Generate the ARRA Measures report (Action field -> Compile Report), to view the
                       overrides.
                                                                                                                                             Page 24 of 35

     The report will have multiple providers each with multiple measures. In addition, some measures
     have multiple calculations. An error report is created if the denominator of a clinical quality
     measure is zero. This is a signal to run the report again, this time selecting a different measure.

     Export XML File

     Create an electronic report for the clinical quality measures using the CMS PQRI 2009 Registry
     XML Specification format. For Ambulatory only: If a measure has a zero denominator, an error
     popup will show “xxx Measure has a zero denominator please select another measure” and
     compile will not occur.

                Note: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently changed their plans
                regarding this report. Electronic submission has been deferred until at least 2015 and the
                electronic file format will be changed (i.e. the PQRI 2009 version will never be used).
