1. General Information

Hospitals can attest to submitting two quarters of ePC measures (eCQMs) instead of four quarters of chart-abstracted PC measures for their Perinatal Care measures via the Chart-Abstracted Submission menu.

NOTE:

• One for one replacement

1. Correct:  submit ePC-01 instead of PC-01

2. Not Correct: submit ePC-02 instead of PC-01

• May replace none, some, or all required PC measures with ePC measures.

• 2 quarters of PC eCQM data = 4 quarters of the associated chart-abstracted PC measure data           

• If an organization is uncertain the eCQM data can be submitted (e.g., ePC-06), we strongly suggest the chart-abstracted data is entered until it is certain the eCQM data can be successfully submitted.

• A PC measure submitted as a chart-abstracted measure for all 4 quarters, may also be submitted as an eCQM.

• If applicable, every ePC eCQM submitted for 2 quarters counts towards both an organization's PC requirement and eCQM requirement.

 3.    How To Attest:

1. Click on the open button for the Perinatal Care measure for which you wish to attest to submit via eCQM.

2. Select the toggle on the right-hand side, “Attest to submit via eCQM”. By clicking on that toggle, you are attesting that you will be submitting this measure as eCQM data instead of aggregate chart-abstracted data.
