Hi Guys
In our certification the system is only shown certified for certain CQMs. (the link given below)
Now if we develop additional CQMs do we need to go through the certification process again for each of the CQMs. This question is critical for those of us adding CQMs to suit the requirements of different specialists.
Thanks and regards
Shah

This from ICSA Labs
EPs can use uncertified clinical quality measures for meaningful use incentive attestation purposes.
Please refer to CMS FAQ #168 found at https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/Downloads/FAQsRemediatedandRevised.pdf
Meaning that is is perfectly OK to create your own reporting data for any CQM that you want to attest to…
ICSA Labs will certify new reports for OEMR.org if desired, so they can be on the ONC site, cost is $500 per testing session.

Hi Tony,
Quick question. Is that $500 all that will be needed for the MU stage II testing session (I am guessing that would be way to good to be true)?
