Data Submission & Deadlines
Flex Programs are adding Inpatient ED-1 and ED-2 [ED throughput for admitted patients] to the required measure set for MBQIP. The first quarter of reporting will be 3Q 2017, due February 15 2018 to CART/QNet. These measures compliment current outpatient ED throughput measures and are very applicable to CAHs due to ED volumes.
