The Beginning
With Siemens assistance, conducted gap analysis Reviewed 29 available CQMs Reviewed current Soarian system design and operational practice and
workflow Compared NQF (National Quality Forum) and CQM reporting criteria
against current state Documented measures as achieved, achievable, and not applicable
(from an operational standpoint) Identified possible pool of measures to be used for meaningful use
attestation
Cape Regional Health System
The Good, Bad, andTHE UGLY
Challenges with Siemens gap analysis Information was overwhelming Difficult to understand the intent of each measure Difficult to determine source(s) of data and data location(s) needed for
reporting purposes (In our systems and the “Alphabet Soup”) Struggled to identify appropriate patient populations for each measure Deliverable was unwieldy spreadsheet How to translate operational opportunities for CQM compliance into
functional, useable data collection for attestation?

CRMC Review
Weekend #1 (Dawn/Claire) Detailed reviewed of 29 available CQMs Worked with gap analysis documentation Identified measures that were impossible to achieve Identified pool of possible measures for inclusion
Reviewed with Core Team Attempted to finalize measure selection Feeling unsure and uncertain about understanding of measure
definitions and selected CQMs Frustrated, and concerned about ability to meet requirements
Cape Regional Health System
HELP!!!
Help is on the way … At this point, we engaged Rosemary and her team to assist
with our understanding of measures and our opportunities to comply
Brings valuable understanding of the measures and the intent of the legislation to the process
Third review of available CQMs begins – focused on 19 preliminarily selected
Cape Regional Health System
Weekend #2
Weekend retreat to review CQM requirements, Gap Analysis, and current system state Create order out of chaos Validate measure selection Start to truly understand what needs to be accomplished to
reach and report the measure Final decisions on measure selection

Let the Fun Begin
Cape Regional Health System
Dive into each individual CQM to evaluate what we are currently capturing and what will need to either be added or changed
Created individual spreadsheets for each measure, comparing NQF with current practice and data available in Meditech, Allscripts, and Soarian
Identified operational workflows and system data that required updating
Changed practice, update systems, and educate physicians and nurses about changes

Challenges …
Cape Regional Health System
Siemens Clinical Quality Measure Reporting Robust reporting mechanism available Allowed drill-down for analysis Struggled with identifying reasons why results did
not appear as expected ICD9 / SNOMED coding
Problem List
Cape Regional Health System
Problems were a problem!
Cape Regional Health System
Provider problems proved to be more difficult to implement than expected Drive much of CQM inclusion/exclusion criteria Difficult to differentiate between provider and nursing
problem list in Soarian Physician engagement is a must, and was difficult to obtain Physicians and nurses not playing well together in the Problem
List sandbox
Lessons Learned …
Cape Regional Health System
What would we do differently the next time? Engage Rosemary sooner! Don’t assume that the “easy ones” are really easy Promote/publicize the Meaningful Use initiative more
widely Allow more time for implementation of changes and the
associated learning curve Beware of unshared data
Next Steps …
Cape Regional Health System
Meaningful Use Stage 2 Attestation Validation & Refinement of current CQM
measures Looking forward to impacts of expected
program changes Meaningful Use Stage 3
