Objective: Use computerized provider order entry for medication, laboratory, and radiology orders [changed to
diagnostic imaging orders in the Stage 3 objectives] directly entered by any licensed health care professional that can enter orders into the medical record per state, local, and professional guidelines.
Also, the thresholds for medication, laboratory, and
diagnostic imaging orders have been increased for Stage 3.
Proposed Objective: Use computerized provider order entry (CPOE) for medication, laboratory, and
diagnostic imaging orders directly entered by any licensed healthcare professional, credentialed medical assistant, or a medical staff member credentialed to and performing the equivalent duties of a credentialed medical assistant; who can enter orders into the medical record per state, local, and professional guidelines.
In keeping with the above excerpts, it is the position of the AAMA that only appropriately credentialed medical assistants (in addition to licensed health care professionals) should be permitted to enter medication, laboratory, and
diagnostic imaging orders into the computerized provider order entry system for meaningful use calculation purposes under the Medicaid Electronic Health Record Incentive Program, and for advancing - care - information purposes under the Merit - Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).
As such, providers participating in that program must continue to ensure that the required percentages, respectively, of medication, laboratory, and
diagnostic imaging orders are entered into the CPOE system by credentialed medical assistants or licensed health care professionals to receive incentive payments under the program.4
The Medicaid Incentive Program requires that only credentialed medical assistants and licensed health care professionals are permitted to enter medication, laboratory, and
diagnostic imaging orders into the CPOE system for meaningful use calculation purposes.
As of January 1, 2017, credentialed medical assistants (in addition to licensed health care professionals) are permitted to enter medication, laboratory, and
diagnostic imaging orders into the electronic health record (EHR) and have such entry count toward meeting the meaningful use thresholds under only the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program.
