We have assigned one contact per PO to the MUHIT survey, and that person may add as many users as necessary to the survey. Instructions for adding users to the survey are as follows:
No. Documentation is required for 5% of PCPs/EPs reported as using certified software, but the same PCP/EP may be used for every measure. For example, the following scenarios are acceptable documentation:
No. To be eligible the organization must perform the functions addressed in the Standards and Guidelines (e.g., QI, UM, CR, RR, and MEM, if applicable), either directly or through a service agreement. If the organization uses a service agreement, the agreement must specify functions covered and be effective before eligibility can be determined.
All other listed eligibility criteria also must be met.
MRRV Group F (Exclusions) includes all optional and required exclusions and valid data errors found during medical record review. It does not include records excluded through administrative data or that belong to employees or their dependents. Other hybrid medical record exclusions that should not be reviewed in Group F are exclusions for CBP and the HbA1C Less Than 7% indicator. Because of the large volume, auditors review exclusion rates for these indicators separately. See the instructions in Volume 5, page 65 for reviewing CBP and HbA1c<7%.

The current timeline says that the auditor selects the measures for review on May 1 and not before; however, if the auditor reviews the health plans internal timelines, and finds that the plan expects to finish MRR early, it is acceptable that the auditor send the measure list when all chart review is complete and he has received a final count of numerator hits for each hybrid measure. For example, if the plan finishes all chart chases on April 29 and provides the numerator count lists, the auditor can select the measures for validation and start the process early.
Note: If the auditor allows for an earlier MRRV timeline, the plan may have to adjust other deadlines affected by this change.

Looking at charts is one way to collect data for a supplemental database (note: this activity should be distinguished from and not include chart review activities for the hybrid measures). All data in the supplement database, regardless of how it was collected, should be treated as administrative data. With the exception of standard data sources such as EHRs and state registries, supplemental databases should not be used during chart review for the hybrid measures.
