PI Final Score
Performance is calculated using the numerator/denominator of each measure, except for the measures associated with the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange objective and the PDMP measure, which all require “yes or no” submissions.
The performance rate corresponds to a point value, and the points for each measure are added together to calculate a Promoting Interoperability performance category score of up to 105 possible points.
Objective | Measure | Performance | Maximum Points |
|---|---|---|---|
e-Prescribing | Numerator/Denominator | 10 points* | |
Yes/No | 5 bonus points | ||
Health Information Exchange | Numerator/Denominator | 20 points | |
Numerator/Denominator | 20 points* | ||
Provider to Patient Exchange | Numerator/Denominator | 40 points | |
Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange | Yes/No | 10 points | |
Protect Patient Health Information | Yes/No | 0 points** |
