Demonstration Details


Encounters vs Patients

• Become familiar with the 50% rule and which measures require tracking of unique patients

“To be a meaningful EHR user, an EP must have 50 percent or more of their patient encounters during the EHR reporting period at a practice/location or practices/locations equipped with certified EHR technology. For the purpose of calculating this 50 percent threshold, any encounter where a medical treatment is provided and/or evaluation and management services are provided should be considered a "patient encounter.”

• 50% rule is different from the requirements for specific Objectives
