RWHC’s Electronic Clinical Quality Measures

RWHC Electronic Clinical Quality Measures

The RWHC QI Program is ONC Health IT certified to submit Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs) for CMS and Joint Commission for IQR and Promoting Interoperability (previously named Meaningful Use). Our technology allows hospitals to choose to meet hospital electronic clinical quality measure reporting requirements. This certification, RWHC eCQM QI Program v8 along with our current Chart Abstracted Measures Program provides an opportunity to maximize staff time, efficiency, and data accuracy while meeting your multiple quality measure submission requirements.

The RWHC eMeasures Solution can work with eligible hospitals with any:

  • EHR system or level of implementation
  • eCQM reporting for IQR and Promoting Interoperability
  • Attestation or electronic measures submission choices
  • Hospital size or designation (Critical Access or PPS) 

We provide automated tools and IT consultation that allow demographic and clinical data import to our database from many EHR systems. We also provide assistance in understanding the complex data and reporting requirements that apply to eCQMs and Core Measures programs.

RWHC has partnered the eMeasures Solution with our Core Measures Program to build a total quality reporting package tailored to your specific needs, while maximizing your incentive dollars and meeting your data submission requirements.

This Health IT Module is compliant with the ONC Certification Criteria for Health IT and has been certified by an ONC-ACB in accordance with the applicable certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This certification does not represent an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The RWHC eCQM QI Program v8 has received approval on our Real World Test Plan by The Drummond Group. As a Condition of Certification, developers with one or more Health IT Module(s) certified to any of the certification criteria outlined in § 170.405(a) of the ONC Cures Act Final Rule must successfully test the real-world use of those Health IT Modules.
