More than 30% of all unique patients with at least one medication in their medication list seen by the Eligible Professional (EP) have at least one medication order entered using CPOE.
Based on ALL patient records: Any EP who writes fewer than 100 prescriptions during the EHR reporting period would be excluded from this requirement. Exclusion from this requirement does not prevent an EP from achieving meaningful use. Does this exclusion apply to you?
