Medicaid Promoting Interoperability (PI) data includes behavioral measures for which providers need to meet specific thresholds (numerator, denominator, and/or excluded patient counts), as well as additional clinical quality measures. With legacy data entry, providers participating in Medicaid Promoting Interoperability can transition to a new EHR or aggregate data from a non-athenahealth EHR into athenaClinicals without disrupting the successful completion of the current program year.

athenaClinicals is a 2015 Certified EHR Technology. To enter legacy Medicaid PI data into athenaClinicals, your legacy EHR must also be a 2015 certified EHR.

Note: You can look up the EHR certification status of your legacy EHR on the Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL).
