Eyefinity EHR Quality Scoring and Benchmarking
To qualify for an incentive payment in 2020, you must report six measures, one of which must be an outcome measure. Quality accounts for 45% of your MIPS score.
The Quality performance category replaces the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and the Clinical Quality Measure (CQM) component of meaningful use. Familiarity with these previous quality programs will help you choose measures that are appropriate for your practice.
This section explains which measures are available, which submission options are available, and how those different submission methods are scored for each measure.
In general, claims-based submissions score the lowest and registry submissions score the highest.
Claims-based reporting is available only to clinicians in small practices (15 or fewer eligible clinicians), whether participating as an individual or as a group.
Attempt as many measures as you can. Periodically run the MIPS Quality calculator to check your progress. Use the MIPS Quality calculator to decide which measures to report.
