The path to successful quality-reporting in 2017 continues to get clearer. In a new release, you'll find dozens of qualified clinical data registries (QCDRs) that have obtained CMS' blessing to help you report your quality measures and other pieces of the merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS).
The QCDR reporting option, which is one of several ways to report MIPS scores, allows providers to report quality measures, advancing care information measures and improvement activities -- the three slices of MIPS that will determine payment bonuses in future years.
Many specialty societies are offering QCDRs to their members. For example, the American Academy of Dermatology will charge association members $295 per year for using its in-house QCDR. The American Academy of Neurology's QCDR is free to members.
