EP Objective: The EP who transitions their patient to another setting of care or provider of care or refers their patient to another provider of care should provide summary care record for each transition of care or referral.
EH Objective:
The eligible hospital or CAH who transitions their patient to another setting of care or provider of care or refers their patient to another provider of care should provide summary care record for each transition of care or referral.
EP/EH
/CAH
Measure: Refer to matrixEP/ EH / CAH Objective: EP/EH/CAH who transitions their patient to another setting of care or refers their patient to another provider of care - Provide a summary of care record for each site transition or referral when transition or referral occurs with available informationMeasure: The EP, eligible hospital, or CAH that site transitions or refers their patient to another setting of care (including home) or provider of care provides a summary of care record for 65% of transitions of care and referrals (and at least 30% electronically).Certification Criteria: EHR is able to set aside a concise narrative section in the summary of care document that allows the provider to prioritize clinically relevant information such as reason for transition and/or referral. Must include the following four for transitions of site of care, and the first for referrals (with the others as clinically relevant): 1. Concise narrative in support of care transitions (free text that captures reason for referral or transition)2. Setting-specific goals3. Instructions for care during transition and for 48 hours afterwards4. Care team members, including primary care provider and caregiver name, role and contact info (using DECAF)What can we do to make sure the capability is there ? Make sure vendors use available standards to transmit summary of care (fields need to accommodate). Is it better to look at the communication between MU clinical trading partners? MU to MU, 80% should be electronic. MU to non-MU 30%.Is it possible with right technical capability built into the record, identify fellow MUers? Easy way to know that trading partners are MUers.How much to force on provider side?

New for Stage 3
EP/ EH / CAH Objective: EP/ EH/CAH who transitions their patient to another site of care or refers their patient to another provider of careFor each transition of site of care, provide the care plan information, including the following elements as
applicable:
•
Medical diagnoses and stages
•Functional status, including ADLs
•Relevant social and financial information (free text)•Relevant environmental factors impacting patient’s health (free text)•Most likely course of illness or condition, in broad terms (free text)•Cross-setting care team member list, including the primary contact from each active provider setting, including primary care, relevant specialists, and caregiver•The patient’s long-term goal(s) for care, including time frame (not specific to setting) and initial steps toward meeting these goals•Specific advance care plan (POLST) and the care setting in which it was executedFor each referral, provide a care plan if one existsMeasure: The EP, eligible hospital, or CAH that transitions or refers their patient to another site of care or provider of care provides the electronic care plan information for 10% of transitions of care to receiving provider and patient/caregiver..STANDARDS: What counts as a transition? Definition of a transition?STANDARDS: We need a definitional statement about what the care plan refers toTiming concern: When provider is getting together information, if the discharge is the trigger to pull in information, it’s too late for the patient (difficult for the patient to leave with the care plan at time of discharge)No changes suggested.SGRP305 New for Stage 3EP / EH / CAH Objective (new): EP/EH/CAH to whom a patient is referred acknowledges receipt of external information and provides referral results to the requesting provider, thereby closing the loop on information exchange. Measure: For 10% of patients referred during an EHR reporting period, referral results generated from the EHR are returned to the requestor (e.g. via scan, printout, fax, electronic CDA Care Summary and Consult Report).

Objective/Measure: Record health care team members (including at a minimum PCP, if available) for more than 10 percent of all patients seen during the reporting period; this information can be unstructured. We believe that this requirement is better incorporated with other objectives that require summary of care documents and is not necessary as a standalone objective.
