OneView 5.0.6 includes updates to reflect the 2019 Reporting Period eCQM Specifications. This update includes the new CQM logic, Clinical Quality Language (CQL), as well as updates to nomenclature mapping codes, value sets from the NLM Value Set Authority Center and updated clinical best practices guidance from MEDITECH. We will be tracking big changes to the 2019 measures as compared to 2018 in the Customer Support Portal Knowledge Base article linked here.


OneView 5.0.6 also includes updates to reflect the 2019 Promoting Interoperability objectives and measures for hospitals as well as the new performance-based scoring methodology for Medicare/Dual-Eligible hospitals.


OneView 5.0.6 includes built-in support for ALL MEDITECH platforms including MAGIC, CS, 6.0, and Expanse.


Here's a summary of what's new in this update:


Quality Programs: OneView Hospital Quality (HQ) continues to support Medicare and Medicaid Promoting Interoperability CQM and Objective Measure reporting and attestation. In addition, OneView HQ supports the eCQM eReporting to both the CMS Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) and the Joint Commission ORYX programs. Workflows and mapping associated with the 2019 reporting period requirements will need to be reviewed and incorporated to ensure that these items are accurately configured for this new release.


Medicare/Dual-Eligible 2019 Measures:


OneView HQ has been updated to reflect the 2019 Objectives and Measures as finalized in the FY2019 IPPS Final Rule. The 2019 Medicaid Objectives and Measures are those that were previously finalized for Stage 3 along with the threshold scoring methodology.

Submission Wizard: The ability to create electronic submission for 2019 has been disabled and will be available in an upcoming release. Workflows associated with the 2019 reporting period requirements will need to be reviewed and OneView output data validated to ensure that these items are accurately configured for this new release. As a quality reporting submission vendor, Acmeware has a fiduciary responsibility with clinical quality reporting to CMS. Due to Acmeware standards and these significant changes, we have disabled the lock functionality in this release, but it will be reinstated, as appropriate.




New Features and Enhancements: (for all platforms unless specified)


Manage Dictionaries:

  • Updated manage dictionaries for CPOE (Medicaid Only) to read Diagnostic Imaging. The RAD category includes all diagnostic imaging to reflect the Stage 3 measure requirements.



  • Hospital Settings page was updated with ED Admission Method options which impacts PI calculations.  This replaces what was previously PI Reporting Stage as reporting years 2019 forward are all Stage 3.


  • Problem Reconciliation Query Dictionary name has been updated to remove (Stage 3 ONLY) as reporting years 2019 forward are all Stage 3. The tooltip was also updated as this dictionary is used to denote that the current problem list is reconciled for Support Electronic Referral Loops by Receiving and Incorporating Health Information Measure (HIE_4 Medicare/Dual Eligible) or Clinical Information Reconciliation Measure (HIE_3 Medicaid).




Reports:

  • Tool tips on column headers have been replaced with an expanding informational panel.  Click on link located above the grid.

  • PI and CQM reports measure specification links were updated to the 2019 specification documents
  • Added attributes to the Value Set Search by OID report.
  • Added a new web-based code listing search report, Value Set Search by Code, to allow users to search by code for CQMs.

  • Patient's age on PI drill-down reports were being calculated when reports ran.  Now they show age at each encounter, so one patient with multiple encounters/visits could show multiple ages on the reports. Customer Support Ticket: #6306
