Set a Goal for Submissionand a Realistic Project Timeline
Types of Supporting Documentation Documented Process Reports Formal organizational documentation that describes what you do, such aswritten policy, procedure, protocol, workflowMust be dated and in place for 3 monthsAggregated and site-specific data showing evidence of actionTrended data, graphical presentationsData must be less than 1 year old; label all parts of graphics carefullyRecords or Files DE-IDENTIFY!Actual patient records, files or registry/log entriesScreenshots from EHR, website or other Materials Information given to patients, staff or clinicians, such as self-management oreducational resources, guidelines, letters, emails, meeting minutes
Before Submission, revisit the SelfAssessment Tool What can you reasonably accomplish by yourdeadline ?Can you get maximum points for all elements andfactors ?Do we meet all the Critical Factors and Must Passelements ? If not, why not ?Understand where you can sacrifice points.

TIPS AND TRAPS from a Reviewer’s perspective
1A: Access during Office HoursFactor 3: Providing timely clinical advice by secure electronicmessages during office hours1B: After Hours AccessFactor 4: Providing timely clinical advice during secureelectronic messages when the office is not open “Interactive electronic system” means that someonewill monitor incoming messages and respond in realtime. A turnaround time for response to messages of 24or 72 hours does not meet the definition of“interactive”.
1E: Medical Home ResponsibilitiesThe practice has a process and materials that it providespatients/families on the role of the medical homeFactors 1-4: coordinating care, obtaining care and advice duringoffice hours and when the office is closed, patients must provide acomplete medical history and information about care obtained outsidethe practice, care team provides evidence-based care and selfmanagement support You must submit a documented process for how youprovide printed materials to patients about themedical home as well as the brochure/materialsthat are given to patients.
1G – Team Structure and Roles Job Descriptions should reflect a team approach tocare delivery. Example: “Each team member plays an integralrole in providing patient-centered healthcare. Ourmodel uses the parallel workflow design whereworkload is distributed throughout the team, thusimproving efficiency resulting in better workflowand improved patient an staff satisfaction.”
Care Team Diagram
2C: Comprehensive Health AssessmentFactors 1-9: age/gender appropriate immunizations and screenings; familysocial and cultural characteristics, communication needs, medical history,advance care planning, behaviors affecting health, mental health/substanceabuse, developmental screening (peds), depression screening tool Submit a documented process and a completedhealth assessment Must use screenshots from the SAME patient for allfactors Rationale: Using screenshots from different patientsdoes not demonstrate a PROCESS
2D: Use Data for Population MgmtFactor 4- Specific Medications Intent: Ability to pull lists of patients on specificmedications for purposes of clinical care and/orpatient safety. Submit list of patients on the medication of yourchoice, and also an example of an outreach letterabout the medication. Can’t just say “We’ve never had a recall situation.” Be proactive and prepare a letter to be used incase of a recall or notice of newly known adverseside effects
3: Plan and Manage CareElement A: Implement Evidence-Based GuidelinesFactors 1-3: First important condition; second important condition; third condition related tounhealthy behaviors or mental health or substance abuse. Important conditions do not have to be the most frequently seen, but they are diagnoses, not treatment protocols or screeningMust provide BOTH source of guidelines and evidence ofimplementationDo not use one guideline to cover two conditions (such as DM and HTN)EHR templates for chronic disease care are acceptable as evidenceof implementing EBGScreenshots must be of real patientsAll screenshots illustrating implementation of EBG should come fromthe same patient
6E – Report PerformanceFactor 1- within the practice, results by individual clinicianFactor 2- Within the practice, results across the practice These factors REQUIRE reporting examples from themeasures provided in both: 6A (clinical measures) and 6B (patient satisfaction survey data)
