Quality Reporting Compliance

To meet the 2015 Quality Reporting certification objectives, eligible providers must have the capability to identify and report cancer cases to a public health central cancer registry (except where prohibited) that is in accordance with applicable laws and practices.

NextGen® Enterprise EHR offers full support for the defined submission of cancer case information from CEHRT to a public health central cancer registry for the entire NextGen® Enterprise EHR reporting period using the HL7 CDA R2 Standard. A CDA is a document markup standard that specifies the structure and semantics of clinical documents for the purpose of exchange.

This flexibility in practice workflows enable you to capture the case information from an organized and convenient location in the system.

The system generates reports when you lock an encounter if any of the following categories exist for a patient:

• Patient is diagnosed with cancer on record
• Patient with cancer has a procedure during the encounter
• Patient has any medication administered during the encounter
• Patient with cancer has radiation therapy during the encounter
• Patient with cancer contains information over one or more encounters
