Achieving Promoting Interoperability Requirements

Promoting interoperability (PI) is worth 25% of your total MIPS score. You must complete 90-days of promoting interoperability using a 2015-edition certified EHR, like Eyefinity EHR 5.10 or later or ExamWRITER 15 or later.

You must report the required measures satisfactorily to receive a PI score. You may report optional measures to move your PI score closer to 100%, but the score is capped at 100%.

Click the measure name to learn more about that measure and how to achieve it in Eyefinity EHR or ExamWRITER.
