From 2019 onward, what is the CEHRT reporting period to public health agencies?

The window for reporting CEHRT data to public health agencies is a fixed 90-day period. This standard means that, starting in 2019, providers must collect and submit the required public health data from their certified EHR technology within a 90-day window each year. The 90-day period strikes a balance between workload and timely data exchange, aligning with quarterly reporting rhythms and giving enough time for accurate data formatting, testing, and connectivity with public health registries (such as syndromic surveillance or immunization information systems). In contrast, shorter windows would increase the burden on practices and vendors without enough time to ensure data quality, while longer windows could delay public health reporting and reduce timeliness. Hence, the 90-day period is the standard from 2019 onward for CEHRT-to-public-health reporting.
