Hi,
Here is code by Visolve to pass the Clinical Quality Measures items. It’s already undergone several revisions and it’s likely ready to come into the codebase. I plan to bring it into the codebase soon unless anybody has issues with it. The code is here:
thanks,

Is this all new code or updates to the code Ensoftek contributed?

Hi Tony,
It’s updating of the code contributed by Ensoftek along with completion of several unfinished pieces.

How’s that last piece coming? We have to be certified and on the CMS site by Oc1 1 for anyone to be able to do MU2 this year…

More detailed update:
- Usability testing (item G3) by 3 extremely generous volunteers is happening this weekend. If all goes well, then the report for this last item will be turned in next week.
- Turns out item a1 (CPOE) was never tested. It’s super simple and plan to get that passed next week.
So barring any more surprises, should be submitting for MU2 late next week (which can then take several weeks to process). It is going to be very close to the 10/1 deadline…

micro-update:
- item G3: The usability testing report has been turned in(thanks to the usability testing volunteers and visolve for working non-stop on this over the weekend).(hopefully the report will be accepted and will hear back soon on this; if so, then this item will be passed)
- item a1: CPOE test for cert will be done on 9/1.
I have confirmed with infogard that the above items are the only items remaining. Thus, if all stars align, we could be submitting for full MU2 cert at the the end of this week (and then there’s still a several week turn around time).

All items are completed and Infogard is currently verifying everything before sending application to ONC.

A “technical review” will be performed by Infogard near the end of this week, which takes several days. Once this is complete, the application then goes to ONC and takes 7 business days. So, if all goes well, then plan to release 5.0.0 with complete MU2 prior to 9/30/16. Keep fingers crossed
