ACI Measures

In 2018, there are two measure set options for reporting. The option eligible clinicians use to submit the data is based on their electronic health record edition.

  • Option 1: 2018 Advancing Care Information Objectives and Measures
  • Option 2: 2018 Advancing Care Information Transition Objectives and Measures

MIPS eligible clinicians will have the option to attest to the Advancing Care Information Objectives and Measures using 2015 Edition CEHRT or a combination of 2014 and 2015 Edition CEHRT, as long as their EHR technology can support the objectives and measures to which they plan to attest.

MIPS eligible clinicians will have the option to report the Advancing Care Information Transition Objectives and Measures using 2014 Edition CEHRT, 2015 Edition CEHRT, or a combination of 2014 and 2015 Edition CEHRT, as long as the EHR technology they possess can support the objectives and measures to which they plan to attest.
