eCQM: Documentation of Current Medications in the Medical Record

Quality Payment Program >> Quality Measures >> eCQM: Documentation of Current Medications in the Medical Record (CMS 68v6)

Under MIPS, eligible clinicians will be required to report up to 6 quality measures, including at least one outcome measure or high-priority measure, for a minimum of 90 days during the 2017 performance year. Practice Fusion currently supports 23 eCQMs that can be reported for MIPS for the 2017 performance year.

Numerator: Eligible visits from the denominator where the eligible clinician attests to documenting, updating or reviewing the patient’s current medications using all immediate resources available on the date of the encounter. This list must include ALL known prescriptions, over-the-counters, herbals and vitamin/mineral/dietary (nutritional) supplements AND must contain the medications’ name, dosages, frequency and route of administration.

Denominator : All eligible visits (defined as a signed chart note with one of the following encounter types: Office Visit or Home Visit) occurring during the 12 month reporting period for patients aged 18 years and older before the start of the measurement period.

• Denominator Exclusions: None
• Denominator Exceptions: Patient is in an urgent or emergent medical situation where time is of the essence and to delay treatment would jeopardize the patient’s health status.
