The Eligible Hospital domain of the § 170.315(g)(1) Automated numerator recording, and § 170.315(g)(2) Automated measure calculation certification criteria was updated to reflect the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) policy changes per the FY2019 Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems (IPPS) Final Rule.

Additional information on the timely access requirement for the Advancing Care Information (ACI) Patient Access measure list, populating the numerator for Stage 3 measures starting in 2019, and measure specific guidance can be found in the § 170.315(g)(1) & § 170.315(g)(2) Certification Companion Guides (CCGs).
