    • Attestation period

      Our organization, which is made up of multiple facilities each attesting under their own CCN, entered meaningful Use Stage II, Year 1 in FFY 2015. We are currently planning a 90 day attestation for our Clinical Quality Measures using eCQMs. In 2016, we will have a new facility joining our organization under their own CCN. That facility will be entering Stage II, Year 3 at that time and has always attested using manually reported Clinical Quality Measures. When that facility joins our organization in 2016, we would like to move them to the electronic Clinical Quality Measures. Our question is will this new facility be eligible for a 90 day reporting of the electronic quality measures in 2016 although all of our other facilities have electronically submitted their quality measures for 90 days in 2015?
