Calling many of the quality reporting measures "hidden requirements" of Stage 1 meaningful use of EMRs, consulting firm Computer Sciences Corp. says hospitals that meet the data-capture standards for meaningful use still will only have about 35 percent of the data they need to report on the 15 "core" measures. "Much attention has been paid to some of the explicit data capture requirements for meaningful use--computerized physician order entry in particular--because so much work lies ahead for most U.S. hospitals to implement these functions. However, we believe that the quality reporting requirements for Stage 1, the first increment of meaningful use to be achieved, will be equally challenging," CSC concludes in a recently published report.
