Meaningful Use State 2- Hospitals
Stage 2 MU Objectives and Measures for Hospitals and CAHs Objective Measure Notes, Comments, Queries
CORE SET (eligible hospitals/CAHs must meet all 16 Core set objectives)
- 1. Use CPOE for medication, laboratory, and
radiology orders entered by any licensed healthcare professional who can enter
- rders into the medical record per State,
local, and professional guidelines to create the first record of the order. More than 60 percent of medication, laboratory, and radiology orders created by authorized providers of the hospital’s inpatient or emergency department during the EHR reporting period are recorded using CPOE. Exclusion: None. Measure in Stage 1 was 30 percent. Provider must personally use the CPOE function, verbally communicate the
- rder to someone else who will use the
CPOE function, or give an electronic or written order that must not be retained in any way once the CPOE function has been utilized. CMS invites comment on whether CPOE order entry could be expanded to include non-licensed professionals, such as scribes. The proposed denominator is the number of medication, radiology, and laboratory
- rders created by providers in the
hospital’s inpatient or emergency department during the EHR reporting
- period. CMS encourages comments on
whether a different denominator could be used – the HIT Policy Committee recommended a denominator of “patients with at least one type of order.”
