Clinical Data Registry Reporting

The POAG and dry eye syndrome specialized registries are built in, so your reporting is instantaneous. No need to wait for an external registry to pick up your data. The registries are populated by each visit where POAG or dry eye syndrome is documented and a valid procedure is performed.

To sign up for these specialized registries, contact Eyefinity at 800.269.3666 option 2.

Additionally, AAO IRIS qualifies as a clinical data registry for ophthalmologists. For information about connecting to IRIS, go to www.eyefinity.com/IRIS.

The MIPS-eligible clinician is in active engagement to submit data to a clinical data registry.

Active engagement may be demonstrated in one of the following ways:

• Preproduction and Validation. The MIPS-eligible clinician must first register to submit data with the public health agency (PHA) or, where applicable, the clinical data registry (CDR) to which the information is being submitted. Registration must be completed within 60 days after the start of the performance period, while awaiting an invitation from the PHA or CDR to begin testing and validation. MIPS-eligible clinicians that have registered in previous years do not need to submit an additional registration for subsequent performance periods. Upon completion of the initial registration, the MIPS-eligible clinician must begin the process of testing and validation of the electronic submission of data. The MIPS-eligible clinician must respond to requests from the PHA or, where applicable, the CDR within 30 days. Failure to respond twice within a performance period would result in the MIPS-eligible clinician not meeting the measure.
• Validated Data Production. The MIPS-eligible clinician has completed testing and validation of the electronic submission and is electronically submitting production data to the PHA or CDR.

This measure is not required to fulfill the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange objective. If you attest YES, you must also report your level of active engagement—preproduction and validation or validated-data production. This measure contributes up to 5 bonus points.

The following are suggested roles for completing this measure:

• Doctor
• Technician

If you receive any confirmation for your submission, be it an email or a web page displaying a confirmation message, print it and save it with your other MIPS documentation.
