Meaningful Use Dashboard

Only a user that has administrator rights will have the ability to set up security access for users to the Meaningful Use Dashboard. Click here for instructions to Changing Security Privileges for Roles/Groups.

Click on Soapware > Meaningful Use Dashboard.

To view the Meaningful Use statistics for a provider, Click the "Display for Provider" drop-down menu and select the desired provider (or All Providers).

After selecting the provider, Click the "Update Statistics" button. SOAPware will scan the users encounters to report the appropriate statistics.

If a user would like to view the Meaningful Use statistics for another provider, repeat the previous step and Click the "Update Statistics" button.

A user is able to select a snapshot date, using the drop-down menu.

The Update Statistics function can ONLY be run for the current date. Users cannot select a Snapshot Date in the past and update statistics for that date. Therefore, it is VERY important that the provider click the Update Statistics button on the final day of their selected reporting period.

Note: The statistics displayed, will be for the 90 days previous to the date selected.

Under the snapshot date, meaningful use items will be listed.

*A green check mark indicates that the item has met the Meaningful Use requirements.
*A grey 'X' indicates that the item has not met the Meaningful Use Criteria.

A user is also able to view the percentage met for a particular provider, as well as the numerator and denominator, to the right of the Meaningful Use item.

To export the information displayed, including the numerator, denominator, and percentage for the meaningful use items listed:

1. Click on the "Export" button, in the Meaningful Use Dashboard.
2. Select the location for the file to be exported, and Click "Save."
3. Find the file, and Double-Click to open and view the report.

Each Meaningful Use requirement is listed in the exported text file, followed by the numerator, denominator, and percentage met.

The Meaningful Use Dashboard allows users to view a graph of the trend for each meaningful use requirement that is listed on the dashboard. To view the graph:

1. Click the "Trend For" drop down menu and select the desired meaningful use measure.
2. Select a Start Date and End Date for the trend.
3. The trend graph will display based upon the above selections.

Legend:
* The red line represents the denominator for the measure.
* The green line represents the numerator for the measure.
* The orange bar represents the percentage met for the measure.

MU dashboard will automatically calculate each MU criteria as interpreted by SOAPware Inc. In some instances providers might interpret a measure differently. Adjustments are made on the Patient MU dashboard within the Chart workspace at the point of care. The Adjustments feature gives the provider the opportunity to manually track Meaningful Use items that they feel did not calculate according to their individual interpretation at the point of care. Adjustments made will not change the automatic calculation by SOAPware but does track adjustments and allows users to print at the time of self attestation. Reporting Provider will be responsible for adjustments at the time of self attestation.

To View and export adjustments made at the point of care click on the Adjustments Button here. The Adjustments tab will only illuminate after a Display Provider has been selected.

Adjustments will display the Date/time that the Adjustments are entered and the user that entered the adjustments. Adjustments cannot be added or deleted in the MU Dashboard Workspace. Any changes must be done in the Patient MU Dashboard at the Point of care.
