Understanding Measure Scoring
CMS has simplified the scoring of the promoting interoperability category. Each measure will be scored by multiplying the performance rate (calculated from the numerator and denominator you submit) by the available points for the measure.
The Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange measures will be awarded full points if a “yes” is submitted for two registries or one “yes” and one exclusion.
If you fail to submit a numerator of at least one (or claim an exclusion) for any required measure, you will receive a zero for the entire promoting interoperability category.
If you claim an exclusion, the points for excluded measures will be reallocated to other measures.
