Meaningful Use & Clinical Quality Measures Settings

At several places in Charting where you could possibly qualify for Meaningful Use (MU) criteria, the information icons are indicated to remind you about qualifying instances. Here you can configure the places where you want to display these reminders. Also, you can configure the MU stage number (1 or 2) for each provider individually or for all providers at once.

The Clinical Quality Measures (CQM) reminders are designed to assist providers in achieving better results in Clinical Quality Measures which is a part of numerator criteria fulfillment for MU Stage-2. Based on the configuration done, these reminders can be viewed from the Facesheet screen when the encounter is in session and from the End Encounter screen.
