6. For those organizations with specific required measures, those measures will be indicated in blue italic text as: ”(Required)”.
If an organization submits an optional measure for the first calendar quarter, that measure becomes required for the full calendar year; organizations may not stop/start measures mid-year with the exception of unit closures (i.e. closure of an obstetrical unit).
When chart-abstracted data is submitted, the measure will show as “Complete”.
When chart-abstracted data is entered for some months of a quarter, the measure will show as “In Progress”.
When a chart-abstracted data is not entered for a required measure, it will show as “Not Started”.
Any measure showing as “Not started” or “In Progress” is not submitted and the requirement is not met.
