Do you have a no-show problem? Even if you struggle with unexpected holes in your schedule only occasionally, you can take steps to improve your patient-contact rates and turn those no-shows into visits.
What was speculation is now official: CMS will accept hardship exceptions for the meaningful use reporting program because of the delayed rulemaking that the federal agency issued for the program's modified stage 2 and stage 3.
You have an additional 15 days to let CMS know how you feel about the direction of Medicare-related quality-reporting programs, such as the physician quality reporting system (PQRS) and electronic health record (EHR) reporting.

CMS has issued a request for information (RFI) asking for feedback to improve the way clinical quality measures are handled electronically in electronic health records (EHRs), which may lay extra burdens on EHR developers but make electronic reporting easier for providers.

Providers will get relief from meaningful use penalties in 2017 if a bill that passed Congress late last week gains President Barack Obama's signature.
