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 hospital. |
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 hospital information, including the NPI, name, and address. The CMS registration ID is optional. |
6 | You will also 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. |
7 | Finally, you will need to know which program the hospital is participating and the public health reporting measures the hospital is registering. For each measure, you will be required to enter certified EHR information. |
