Denominator

All medication orders or prescriptions performed during the evaluation period. 


Numerator

From prescriptions in denominators how many were transmitted electronically. The goal is 50%. 

 

What to do in EHRez?

Create and send electronically prescriptions to all patients. (This includes New Rx and by Renewal.) Note: This measure can not go to previous notes and edit them (therefor they will not be presented in the outstanding details) since past orders cant be changed. To improve performance it is necessary to focus on the electronic prescriptions and choose the best period.

  • Excluson #2: Any EP who does not have a pharmacy within their organization and there are no pharmacies that accept electronic prescriptions within 10 miles of the EP's practice location at the start oh his/her EHR reporting period.
