Short Demo (Coming Soon) for PC Attestation

What’s in this section:

...

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.

Info

NOTE:

One for one replacement:

Correct:  submit ePC-01 instead of PC-01

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.

 2. Examples:

  • CY2021: 2 quarters of eCQM data = 4 quarters of chart-abstracted measure data

  • CY2022: 3 quarters of eCQM data = 4 quarters of chart-abstracted measure data

  • CY2023: 4 quarters of eCQM data = 4 quarters of chart-abstracted measure data

CY2022 Example (eCQMs = 3 quarters of data)

  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.
