CDC Webinars on Meaningful Use and HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA)
As part of Stage 2 Meaningful Use (MU), Eligible Professionals (EPs) can choose “Cancer Reporting” as a public health reporting objective to receive incentives from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) to implement certified electronic health record (EHR) systems to report cancer data to state cancer registries. In MU Modified Stage 2, EPs can continue to report cancer cases, but it is now as part of the Specialized Registry Reporting measure. In MU Stage 3, EPs can report cancer cases as part of the Public Health Registry Reporting measure.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Program of Cancer Registries National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) will host various webinars to provide the cancer community with information, guidance, and technical assistance with implementation of Cancer Reporting in Meaningful Use (MU). Recordings and associated documents from past webinars can be found in the tabs below.
