What Information is Displayed on Promoting Interoperability Dashboard?

Follow the above mentioned workflow to land on the ‘Overview’ tab.

Select the required entity from the ‘Entity’ dropdown

Click ‘Promoting Interoperability’ tab to display measures and scores of active entities.

Here, the header displays the following:

• ‘Entity Name’
• ‘Reporting Period’
• ‘Providers’
• Total score of the PI category.

The header remains fixed and can be seen on the ‘Patient List’ screen as well.

Under the ‘Electronic Prescribing’ objective, the ‘Bonus’ label can be seen before the bonus measures.

Hover over the progress bar against a measure to display the numerator and denominator count.

The denominator shows the total eligible population against that measure and the numerator shows the percentage of the eligible population which meets the specific measure criteria.

To enable the exclusion for a measure, click its respective toggle button under the progress column.

Doing so displays an ‘Exclusion Enabled’ label for its original measure.

In case an exclusion is enabled for a measure, its scores are redistributed to another measure and an information message is displayed at the top of the screen.

Clicking the ‘ON/OFF’ toggle button enables the ‘Immunization’ and ‘Syndromic Surveillance’ registry reporting measures.

For more information regarding the measures, hover over the desired measure’s information icon.

Moreover, to view the patient list, click the patient icon.

Doing so navigates the user to the ‘Patient List’ screen.

Hover over the progress bar to display the numerator and denominator count.

Users can also view the denominator and numerator columns against the patient names.

The system adds the score of the bonus measure PI_EP_2 to the total promoting interoperability score.

Select an entity with reporting year 2021 and measure PI_EP_2 added to it.

Click the toggle button next to the bonus measure PI_EP_2 to turn it on.

The system updates the total score of the category ‘Electronic Prescribing’ to 20 and the total score of the ‘Promoting Interoperability’ category to 110.

Users have the option to download patient list for the measures in Promoting Interoperability category of MIPS entities.

This helps providers evaluate patient counts and receive incentives from CMS.

Click the patient icon next to a measure.

Then, click the ‘Download’ hyperlink to download the patient list.

The patient list is downloaded as an excel file and the file has the same name as the measure. Additionally, the downloaded file has the following information:

• Entity Name
• Reporting Period
• Submission Method
• Providers
• Measure Name
• Measure Title

When the user hovers over the ‘Download’ hyperlink the system displays the following tooltip:

‘Download complete patient list’

The downloaded patient list has ‘Date of Service’ and ‘Provider Name’ columns.

This helps providers improve performance and receive incentives from CMS.

Users can report promoting interoperability measures for the reporting year 2022 as per CMS guidelines.

A toggle button is displayed with the required measure, PI_PPHI_2: Safety Assurance Factors for EHR Resilience (SAFER). The measure score is N/A.

If any one of the required measures is toggled ‘OFF’ the whole PI total score becomes 0 except for the required measure PI_PPHI_2: Safety Assurance Factors for EHR Resilience (SAFER) Guides.

In the ‘Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange’ objective, users are allowed to report two required measures including ‘Immunization Registry Reporting’ and ‘Electronic Case Reporting’ or their exclusions. If the user turns ‘ON’ the toggles of these two required measures, the system displays ‘10/10’ score for this objective.

The user can also receive full 10 marks by turning the toggle ‘ON’ for one measure and claiming an exclusion for the other.

If there are no “Yes” responses and two exclusions are claimed, the 10 points are redistributed to the ‘Provide Patients Electronic Access to Their Health Information’ measure.

Moreover, 5 bonus points are awarded to the users if they report any one of the optional measures or all of them. The optional measures are Public Health Registry Reporting, Clinical Data Registry Reporting, or Syndromic Surveillance.

If the user is reporting both required measures from ‘Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange’ objective and one or more optional measures the total PI score becomes 105.

Moreover, if the user has selected both required measures from ‘Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange Objective’ along with one or more optional measures and a bonus measure PI_EP_2, the total PI score becomes 115.

If the user hovers over the information icon of Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange objective, the system displays a tooltip stating:

‘CMS will require reporting of PI _PHCDRR_1 and PI_PHCDRR_3 (unless an exclusion can be claimed). A score of 0 in any objective will result in the overall score of PI to be 0.’
