Needs Statement:  

In healthcare, providers face a daily challenge in the balance of acute care and care of chronic conditions. Providers are well aware of how to deliver high quality care to their patient population.  The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and other payers have a standard set of metrics that they request providers to meet each year in the care of their patients. This CME will cover the metric definitions as well as describe the workflows for capturing the required elements in the EHR.

• Identify the quality metrics that the Center for Medicare and Medicaid services requires to be met in the care of their patients.
