Meaningful Use (MU) Measure Summary

Location: Admin

 

You need Admin privileges to complete this function.

 

The Meaningful Use Measures Reporting in this application is intended for practices that use an EHR system that is not integrated with the Updox Patient Portal (i.e. the EHR doesn't use the Updox API to pull the measure data into the EHR's measure calculations) but the EHR system does have functionality to sync patients with Updox.

 

 

To view the summary report

1.Click MENU > Admin > MU Measures Reporting.

2.Select the incentive program.

3.Select the reporting period Date Range (beginning in 2015 the start and end date must be in the same calendar year since some calculations vary by year).

4.Click Search.

 

To download the report:

1.Click DOWNLOAD CSV.

2.Save the file to your computer.

3.To view the downloaded report, open the file using a program that can read a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file (e.g. Microsoft Excel).

 

 

Do not use the Meaningful Use Measures Reporting within Updox if your EHR software is integrated with the Updox Patient Portal. You'll want to use your EHR's reporting instead.

 

In the annual MU Attestation for each provider, do not use the values directly from the Updox reports. There are additional steps to calculate the measures.

 

These values are considered "raw" numerators since additional information is needed from your EHR system to completely calculate the measure (i.e. which patients did each provider see during the reporting period).
