Quality Reporting under Meaningful Use and its Relationship to Core Measures

Mathew Bates Senior Vice President, Products & Solutions, Healthcare, and Lou Diamond, MD, Vice President and Medical Director, Healthcare, Thomson Reuters. The Quality Reporting requirements under Meaningful Use are larger and more challenging than they first appear. In order to fulfill the MU Quality Reporting requirements for Stage 1, more than 100 discrete data elements need to be captured not only from your EHR, but also other systems like ADT, lab and nursing. To make things more complicated, the MU Quality Reporting requirements overlap with, but do not replace, the Core Measures program. This session presents details on these topics and provides the participant with a practical implementation process for tackling the hospital quality reporting space.
