Solution: Thank you for your inquiry for CMS138v12, Preventive Care and Screening: Tobacco Use: Screening and Cessation Intervention (2024 performance period).

Solution Posted On:
2024 Performance Period EC eCQMs:
CMS0138v12
Impact: If we are the use the Population 2 performance rate - it is always lower than the others in this measure.
Last Commented Date:

 Description   

I would like to clarify - if an EHR Vendor has three populations under this measure (population 1, 2 & 3)- are they to use Population 2 for the performance rate? In the past we did a weighted average. In muy experience, Population 2 has always been the lowest performance.
