Past Programs and Initiatives

After careful consideration, in light of changing national standards, we have decided to suspend the CQMR service. The CQMR has been a core component of OHA's efforts to ensure quality in the Medicaid program while supporting value-based payment and addressing provider burden. Specifically, the CQMR was intended to provide a streamlined solution for reporting, delivering efficiencies in data collection and reducing reporting burdens by leveraging national standards. the CQMR was used to collect electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) for the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program and CCO quality incentive metrics program. Providers also had the option to use to CQMR for report eCQMs to CMS for the CPC+ and MIPS programs. OHA remains committed to the goals of collecting robust clinical data on outcomes measures to support health system transformation.

The Oregon Common Credentialing Program officially ended in 2021 after being suspended indefinitely effective July 25, 2018. You can learn more about the program and why it was suspended and concluded at its website.

Health Information Exchange Onboarding Program

The Health Information Exchange (HIE) Onboarding Program launched in January 2019 and concluded September 30, 2021 with the sunset of federal funding. The Program leveraged significant federal funding to increase Medicaid providers' capability to exchange health information by supporting the initial costs of connecting (onboarding) priority Medicaid providers to a community-based HIE. Provider participation in the program was voluntary and required CCO involvement. By the end of the Program, over $2.4 million had been spent successfully connecting 72 unique entities (109 individual sites), including: 11 behavioral health practices, four oral health clinics, 50 critical physical health entities, and seven major trading partners (hospital/health system/major referral center). Reliance eHealth Collaborative was selected as the HIE vendor through an RFP process.

Medicaid Electronic Health Record Incentive Program

The Medicaid Electronic Health Care Record (EHR) Incentive Program provides incentive payments to eligible health care providers and hospitals as they adopt, implement, upgrade or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology Hospitals and eligible health care providers who serve Oregon's Medicaid individuals and families can register and apply for federal funds to help support the implementation and use of certified electronic health record systems in their clinics.

Oregon Medicaid Meaningful Use Technical Assistance Program

The Oregon Medicaid Meaningful Use Technical Assistance Program (OMMUTAP) was created by the Oregon Health Authority to help eligible providers maximize their investments in electronic health records (EHRs), meet federal Meaningful Use requirements, and assess and address EHR-related security risks to their practice.

OHA ended the Oregon Provider Directory (OPD) effective June 30, 2021. You can learn more about the program and why it was ended at the OPD website.
