I have been following the instructions on podiatry sites where they give great instuction on how to qualify for Meaningful use. On very good one is Sammy University. Nowhere at these sites do they discuss qualifying for cqm req or cqm alternative.
Since these areas are out of my scope of practice I would never be able to fulfill them.
I am under the impression that these site are aware of this and that podiatry is somehow exempt. The wizard in Ac will not let me procede with the report because of this
something is not right. I hope I have not wasted my time with Amazing Charts.

You need to look at CMS site for meaningful use and see if CQM are discussed for podiatry.

I would say that diabetic foot exams, weight, bmi, bp measurements and referral back to their PCP would qualify for some. I think if you find that you do have to do some CQM then you need to look at ones you can do - even if you just have a template that says you reviewed their exercise and discussed doing a meaningful type of exercise and restrictions.

Thank you for answering my inquiry
I have been advised that if I enter a 0 for cqm measures that do no apply I will be fine.
My new question is where do I find the list of Clincal Quality Measures if there is one. Is there another may to acess so I can enter zeros for those that are not applicable .
thanks
Arthur
