NOTE: Challenging Measure

Its divided in 2 measures, seeks to promote the delivery of patients clinical record and second the interaction of patients with his record or the visit details. The first one calculates the delivery of the encounter/ progress notes within 3 days (Timely Access) the second measures how many patients attended saw the progress note sent to them.

When we recommend to capture the patients emails in other measures is precisely to support this one. In EHRez the encounters are transmitted to the Microsoft, HealthVault portal, automatically to the patients email and then EHRez reads the patients statistics use and see who interacts with data.
