Health Information Exchange (HIE) Bi-Directional Exchange (HIE Option 2)

If you use a health information exchange, you can attest to measure in your Healthmonix MIPSpro account.

Description

The MIPS-eligible clinician or group must attest that they engage in bidirectional exchange with an HIE to support transitions of care.

Definitions

Transition of Care – The movement of a patient from one setting of care (hospital, ambulatory primary care practice, ambulatory specialty care practice, long-term care, home health, rehabilitation facility) to another. At a minimum this includes all transitions of care and referrals that are ordered by the MIPS-eligible clinician.

Referral – Cases where one provider refers a patient to another, but the referring provider maintains his or her care of the patient as well.

Current problem lists – At a minimum a list of current and active diagnoses.

Active/current medication list – A list of medications that a given patient is currently taking. Active/current medication allergy list – A list of medications to which a given patient has known allergies.

Allergy – An exaggerated immune response or reaction to substances that are generally not harmful.

Health Information Exchange: “HIE” broadly refers to arrangements that facilitate the exchange of health information, and may include arrangements commonly denoted as exchange “frameworks,” “networks,” or using other terms.

Reporting Requirements

The MIPS-eligible clinician must attest YES to the following:

  • I participate in an HIE in order to enable secure, bi-directional exchange to occur for every patient encounter, transition or referral, and record stored or maintained in the EHR during the performance period in accordance with applicable law and policy.
  • The HIE that I participate in is capable of exchanging information across a broad network of unaffiliated exchange partners including those using disparate EHRs, and does not engage in exclusionary behavior when determining exchange partners.
  • I use the functions of CEHRT to support bi-directional exchange with an HIE
