      If the denominator value for all three of the core clinical quality measures is zero, an EP must report a zero denominator for all such core measures, and then must also report on all 3 alternate core clinical quality measures. If the denominator values for all three of the alternate core clinical quality measures is also '0,' an EP still needs to report on 3 additional clinical quality measures. Zero is an acceptable denominator provided that this value was produced by certified EHR technology.

      Can an EH/CAH submit CQMs with a zero denominator if their vendor is only certified for certain CQMs?
