CMS moving MU attestation to QualityNet Secure Portal

Editor's Note

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is moving submission of 2017 meaningful use (MU) data from the Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program Registration and Attestation System to the QualityNet Secure Portal (QNet), effective January 2, 2018, the October 4 EHR Intelligence reports.

QNet is currently used for clinical quality measure reporting, so now Medicare-eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals can submit both meaningful use and quality attestation in one place.

The Registration and Attestation System will still be available for Medicaid-eligible hospitals to submit data.
