As you may know, NextGen Healthcare is working to complete development and testing of 2018 NextGen® HQM program releases, including eCQMs, Registry measures and ACO measures that were changed by CMS, thus requiring updates within NextGen® HQM.
We have been working to improve measure-related workflows, as well as making required programming updates to the measures themselves. In the meantime, our teams have already begun conducting bi-weekly training sessions with clients on these enhanced workflows.
Clients expecting the releases of the updated 2018 NextGen® HQM programs, please note:
- White papers will be released incrementally as we complete testing of enhanced workflows and resulting reports
- We are urging clients to take this time to:
- Review this table outlining measures have changed from 2017 and take note of the extent of these changes, as some or all of your measures may not have changed
- Make sure EHR System Maintenance files are current and to reflect new coding (ICD, CPT, LOINC)
- Attend the bi-weekly classes or review recordings on Success Community to learn existing and enhanced workflows for any of the measures you intend to report
Please watch HQM Chatter on Success Community for announcements about the release of HQM programs and related white papers and webinars.
