5.07.2019 CM 09 Would sending the care plan to outside points of care via a secure, electronic fax meet the intent of CM 09?

No, neither secure, electronic fax noR secure email would meet the intent of CM 09. For CM 09, the practice must demonstrate its capability to make their patient's care plans available securely to other care settings, such as hospitals, specialists, or other care facilities that could be managing patient care. This availability should be at the time the patient is seen, including after hours, and as such should not involve reaching out to the practice for the information to be sent. The way in which this care plan is shared may vary and NCQA is not prescriptive, but examples include sharing care plans via shared medical records, HIEs or other shared systems that enable staff from different care settings to view the patient's care plan for continuity and optimal care coordination while the patient receives care from multiple settings.
