AC Wish Forum: I hope you are reading this at some point. If we are going to have our pay based on 'performance' indicators in the future, we need a more fluent format for this. Physicians should first select what CQM indicators they wish to pursue (i.e. 3 out of the 38). This selection then causes an OPTIONAL window to pop up at the end of every visit, or a box within another window. This would have a nice list of the CQM indicators to check off. For instance:
Discussed Smoking Cessation [] Check!
Colonoscopy has been Discussed []
Counseling on Diet and Weight Control []
A mouse click takes care of these quickly instead of the present very inefficient system. For weight, I have to remember to select V65.3 for tracking. For Tobacco I have to go to Decision Support and click on the counseling indicator. Several others I have to go to Decision Support, but they may not show up as a reminder if a risk factor has not already been selected. In summary, there is no efficient way to be reminded and the default is to do nothing.
