We reported at the Regional Meetings that Flex Programs are adding Inpatient ED-1 and ED-2 [ED throughput for admitted patients] to the required measure set for MBQIP.
The first quarter of reporting will be 3Q 2017, due February 15 2018 to CART/QNet. These measures compliment current outpatient ED throughput measures and are very applicable to CAHs due to ED volumes.
Below are resources to aid in your abstraction. We
strongly
encourage you start by watching the video in the Abstraction Training Series.
·
NOTE: CMS does not require reporting if 0-5 cases.
HOWEVER, the MBQIP program does, so even if there is 1 case you will need to submit.
·
I have cleaned up the tool and removed data elements that are not required.
CART Instructions:
·
Before entering data, go to “Provider”
·
Preferences for your facility will appear on the right. Select the time period for 2017 from the Time Period drop down.
·
Check IQR-ED and IQR-IMM and the Save icon in the upper left.
·
Go to Patient, and begin process of entering a new abstraction.
o Choose IQR-ED as the Measure set first.
o Choose to “Enable/disable questions appropriately” on question 1 and enter the IP ED abstraction data.
o Choose Save. It will ask if you want to duplicate this record – Choose OK. This will prefill information for IMM-2 abstraction.
o After you click OK a new abstraction box will pop up, choose IQR-IMM as the measure set and enter required IMM-2 data. The specific IMM-2 question will only be fillable during flu seasons, but complete the available questions anyway to get reporting credit.
