What is C0Q Quality Reporting?

back: VistA_Meaningful_Use_Enhancements

The C0Q Quality Reporting Package is a mumps-based addition to VistA for reporting Meaningful Use and Quality Measurements. The package supports both inpatient and outpatient reporting, and computes the Meaningful Use measures from patient records. For Quality Measurements, the reporting package relies on the VistA Reminders Patient Lists as the source for its reporting.

Installation and Configuration

C0Q PACKAGE - CONFIGURATION of MEANINGFUL USE (MU) MEASURES

ASSUMPTIONS:

- The install guide applies to VistA systems running on Linux/GT.M

- The install steps assume the VistA software is already installed and the environment variables/aliases are defined in your system.

- These instructions assume you are logged into VistA as a user who has access to configure the C0Q package.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Set-up MU Measure Parameters

Log into VistA (user must have access to C0Q package). From GTM prompt:

GTM>D ^XUP	-- enter the programmer environment
Select OPTION NAME: COQ Q	-- enter C0Q module

          MEASURE SET EDIT
          MU MEASURE EDIT
          QUALITY MEASURE EDIT

Select SETUP QUALITY REPORTING Option: EP EDIT PARMS

Prior to building measures and measure sets, we must establish the parameters. If you’re building outpatient MU measures, “EP EDIT PARMS” should be selected (as seen above). If you’re building, inpatient MU measure, “INP EDIT PARMS” should be selected.

Select C0Q PARAMETER NAME: MU2012 Clinic Reporting	-- Enter Name of Parameter
  Are you adding 'MU2012 Clinic Reporting' as 
    a new C0Q PARAMETER (the 1ST)? No// y  (Yes)
NAME: MU2012 Clinic Reporting  Replace 
MEASUREMENT PERIOD KEY: MU12	-- Period Key groups measures and lists so easy to locate and search
PARAMETER TYPE:  OUTPATIENT		-- defines criteria for MU Measure data
EP MU MEASUREMENT SET: 		-- To be left empty for now.  Will come back to add measure set.
EP QUALITY MEASUREMENT SET: 		
Select CLINIC: DR OFFICE       DOCTOR,FOUR	--defines visit criteria.  To ONLY look for visits in a specific clinic, ward, etc.
  Are you adding 'DR OFFICE' as a new CLINIC (the 1ST for this C0Q PARAMETER)? 
No// y  (Yes)
Select CLINIC: 				-- You may add a second clinic/location if you wish

End of MU Measure Parameter Set-up. [Enter] out of the menu until you reach the QUALITY MEASUREMENT MENU (C0Q Q menu as seen below):

If you are building Inpatient MU Measures, select INP UPDATE MU MEASURES instead of EP UPDATE MU MEASURES (as selected above). Once you select “UPDATE MU MEASURE” you should see several lines of text (a small subset of this text can be seen above). When selecting the UPDATE MU MEASURES option, the parameters for Clinics or Inpatient facilities for the Meaningful Use measures are being computed. The parameters then update the patient lists associated with the MU measures, creating new lists (lists are auto-generated for MU measures) only if none exist. They then look for MU Measurement Sets that are in the parameters, and update them, copying over numerator and denominator patient lists, counting them, and computing the percentage. A final update should be performed to ensure the most up-to date data is reported for your MU measure/measure set (see step 6).

Select C0Q QUALITY MEASURE NAME: 

From year to year some MU measures may use the same numerator and dominator lists. If this applies to you, you can simply re-use and rename a measure instead of building a new measure from scratch. Also, in this example we only created one measure to be included in our MU measure set. If you would like multiple measures to be included, you would create additional measures and name accordingly. Please note: Consistent naming is crucial for keeping measures organized.

4. Create MU Measure SET and add MU Measure(s)
