1	Welcome to this video guide about the Meaningful Use Registration for Public Health, also known as MURPH. This video focuses on the registration process for Eligible Professionals.
2	Today´s video guide will provide an introduction and background to the Meaningful Use Registration for Public Health Application and provide you with important information you need before beginning the registration process. We will then show you how to access the MURPH application and walk you through the process of completing a registration of intent for an eligible professional.
3	The MURPH Application was created to allow Eligible Hospitals and Eligible Professionals to declare their intent to submit data to the New York State Department of Health and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene sponsored registries, in support of the Meaningful Use Public Health Reporting Objective.
4	When completing the registration of intent, please keep in mind that Eligible Hospitals and Eligible Professionals, intending to meet any of the Public Health Reporting Measures, must register within 60 days, of the start of the Eligible Providers EHR reporting period.
5	Before you begin, there is information you should gather to make the registration process easier. First, you will need the HCS User ID for the alternate contact. All the mandatory fields will be populated by the system for the Registration and Alternate contacts, based on their HCS information. You may choose to complete the optional fields.
6	Next, you must gather General Practice information, including the NPI and EHR product information.
7	You must also obtain Eligible Professional information, including which program the provider is participating and the public health reporting measures for which the provider is registering.
8	All applications on the Health Commerce System should be accessed using Internet Explorer version 10 or higher, or the newest versions of other browsers. For more information about browser requirements, please review the MURPH user guide available at the website, health, dot NY, dot gov, slash EHR, slash public health.

This registration should include all locations where at least one EP, affiliated with the organization, will be registering their intent to submit data to the New York State Department of Health or the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene sponsored registries. If you plan to register multiple organizations, a separate registration should be completed for each organization. To start registering your organization, click the button: "Start New Registration".
16	Notice there are 5 sections. Practice Name and NPI, Registration Contact, Alternate Contact, Locations, and EP List. Each section must be completed in order to submit the registration. First, you must enter the NPI for your practice or organization. The organization name should automatically populate after you enter the NPI. If you do not have an organization NPI, please enter your individual NPI and your practice or organization name.
17	You must answer if a registration was submitted, on behalf of the practice in a previous year. If you are not sure, answer "No." After completing this page, click "Save and Continue", to proceed forward. You also have the option to "Save and Close".
