eCR
Starting on January 1, 2022, eCR will be required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Promoting Interoperability Program (PIP) for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals and the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Promoting Interoperability Performance Category for eligible clinicians.
The eCR team offers a variety of resources for learning about eCR and communicating its importance to healthcare organizations and public health agencies.
Electronic case reporting provides timely and more complete data than manual reporting and decreases the burden on both healthcare facilities and public health staff as it securely transfers patient and clinical information. Read our stories about eCR in action.
