Take a look at #10 of the Core Requirements and you'll discover that EPs must report on Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs).
EPs must report on 6 total clinical quality measures: 3 required core measures (substituting alternate core measures where necessary) and 3 additional measures (selected from a set of 38 clinical quality measures).
Core Set: Alternative Set:
Adult weight screening and follow up Childhood immunization status
Hypertension (blood pressure management) Influenza immunization for patients 50 or older
Tobacco use assessment and intervention Weight assessment and counseling for
children/adolescents
The list of 38 additional CQMs are available on the CMS website.
The EHR Team will be selecting CQMs to report on based on the capability to pull that data from the system and recommendations from the Oversight Committee. Keep in mind, these CQMs have very detailed requirements (i.e. age, diagnoses, etc.).
The American Medical Association also has a nice overview on CQMs.
