Numerator/Denominator for TOC measure #2 Measure 2: The EP, EH or CAH that transitions or refers its patient to another setting of care or provider of care provides a summary of care record for more than 10% of such transition and referrals either: – Electronically transmitted using CEHRT to a recipient; or – Where the recipient receives the summary of care record via exchange faciliated by an organization that is an eHealth Exchange participant Denominator: Number of transitions of care and referrals during the CEHRT reporting period for which the EP or eligible hospital’s or CAH’s inpatient or emergency department (Place or Service 21 or 23) was the transferring or referring provider Numerator: Number of transitions of care and referrals in the denominator where a summary of care record was a) electronically transmitted using CEHRT to a recipient or b) where the recipient receives the summary of care record via exchange facilitated by an organization that is an eHealth Exchange participant. The organization can be a thrid-party or the senders own organization. Of Note: – EP/EHs may only count transmissions in the measures numerator if the are accessed by the provider to whom the sending provider is referring or transferring the patient – An EP or EH may only count in the numerator transitions of care that first count in the denominator – Receipt by the provider occurs when either the clinician receives/queries or the practice/facility at which the clinician works receives/queries the summary of care 4

Numerator/Denominator Calculations 5 Key Points EPs/EHs must use one of two methods to calculate their denominator: Minimal denominators provided by CMS in the Stage 2 Final Rule Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/downloads/Stage2_EPCore _15_SummaryCare.pdf Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/downloads/Stage2_EPCore _15_SummaryCare.pdf Minimal denominators PLUS criteria defined and consistently documented by the EP/EH such as all self referrals not just self referrals reported by the HIO

Numerator/Denominator Calculations 6 Counting Concepts Unit of measure for ToC measure 1 and 2 is transition/referral and not individual patient 1:1 relationship between transitions/referrals in the EP/EH’s denominator and numerator. An EP/EH cannot count more than one pull/query in the numerator for just on TOC in the denominator All EPs/EHs contributing data to a patient’s CCDA may receive credit when that document is exchanged/pulled only if the transfer is in the EP/EHs denominator It is likely that an HIO will not have easy access to a particular EP or EH’s denominator unless the HIO is also the EHR vendor, and EHR vendor provides a list of denominator transitions or referrals to the HIO, or the EP or EH provides a list of denominator transitions or referrals to the HIO Approach to calculating the denominator for ToC measure 1 and 2 must be the same

HIO ToC Measure 2 Support 7 EP/EH Calculates NumeratorHIO or eHealth Exchange Calculates Numerator Audit Log Provided by HIO or eHealth Exchange participant Containing: List of patients for which the EP/EH contributed data Dates when data was contributed List of providers that queried the patients’ records The date of each query/view Information reconciled against EHR reports Denominator Documentation Provided by EP/EH Containing: The EP or EH’s denominator, as defined by the EP/EH Which patients the EP/EH contributed data for in the reporting period Which providers queried the patients’ records The date of each query/view so HIO knows the information was pulled after the EP/EH referred/transitioned the patient Actions: Associate each contribution with referrals/transitions in the EP/EH denominator Reconcile date of each query/view to ensure data was pulled after the referred/transitioned date Actions: Match the referrals/transitions in the EP/EH’s denominator to appropriate queries/pulls to count numerator
