Program Year 2018
Program Year 2018 will be open for attestations January 14, 2019. The deadline to submit a 2018 attestation is April 30, 2019. You
will not be able to submit a 2018 attestation if you have an unpaid 2017
attestation.
Update: Electronic Clinical
Quality Measures
Starting in Program Year 2018, you will upload electronic
Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) data to the Clinical Quality Metrics Registry
(CQMR). As
we discussed in the Program
Year 2018 webinar, you will upload eCQM data to the CQMR either as QRDA III
files or using an Excel template. Although you will continue to use MAPIR for
the rest of the attestation, you will no longer manually enter eCQMs into
MAPIR. A complete attestation includes submissions to both MAPIR and the CQMR.
Both portions of the attestation must be submitted by April 30, 2019.
To
ensure you are ready to upload your eCQMs when you attest, please begin the
onboarding process to the CQMR. Onboarding involves registering for a
OneHealthPort account; completing legal agreements; and reviewing training
materials. You can find details on our onboarding page. Webinars, coming in early 2019,
will provide more information on using the system.
Reminders: Oregon Public Health Registeries
Oregon providers that intend to submit data to the Oregon
Public Health Division to meet the public health objectives for PI are required
to register their intent within 60 days of the start of their reporting period.
Providers that have achieved ongoing
submission prior to Stage 2 are not required to register.
