Among the requirements to receive an incentive payment, participating hospitals must report on public health measures. These measures include the electronic reporting of data regarding: immunizations, emergency department visits (&#8220;syndromic surveillance&#8221;), and reportable infectious disease laboratory results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2014, 73 percent of participating Medicare eligible hospitals that administered vaccinations were able to report to their local public health registry, 48 percent of participating hospitals that provided urgent care or emergency services were able to electronically report syndromic surveillance data to their local public health agency, and 47 percent of eligible hospitals reported being able to electronically submit reportable laboratory results to their local public health agency. Stage 2 of the EHR Incentive Program requires reporting on all three public health measures when applicable, whereas reporting in the first stage of the program requires reporting on only one of the three measures. Seventy-two percent of stage 2 hospitals reported without exclusion on all applicable public health measures in 2014, compared to 5 percent of stage 1 hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on hospital reporting on meaningful use public health measures, see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/healthit.gov\/data\/data-briefs\/hospital-reporting-meaningful-use-public-health-measures-2014\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">ONC Data Brief 22<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"flip-view-dash\">This visualization may require more screen width to render optimally.
