Beginning in CY 2024, CMS finalized changes to the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) that include a new AUR Surveillance measure. To obtain credit for calendar year 2024, eligible hospitals and CAHs must attest to being in active engagement with CDC’s NHSN to submit AUR data for the EHR reporting period, or else claim an applicable exclusion.
