Then you must be on 5.8 and 8.3 by December 31.
If this is you:
- You have not upgraded to NextGen® Ambulatory EHR 5.8 or 5.8 UD1
- You have not upgraded to NextGen® KBM 8.3.x
- You plan to attest again for MU in 2015
You must upgrade before the start of your 2015 MU reporting period – that’s January 1, 2015 for all returning meaningful users!

Here are the important details
If you’re a returning MU participant in 2015, you will need to be live on NextGen Ambulatory EHR version 5.8 or 5.8 on UD1 by January 1, 2015 to meet regulatory compliance and the full year MU reporting requirement.
Additionally, NextGen Knowledge Base Model (NextGen KBM) 8.3.8 or higher enables you to collect all the required 2014 Stage 1 and Stage 2 data points and supports the full set of clinical quality measures (CQMs).
Clients on NextGen KBM versions lower than 8.3.x may alternatively use the MU 2014 Standalone Templates during the 2015 reporting period. However, you must upgrade to 8.3.x in advance of the October 1, 2015 ICD-10 compliance date.
