Clinical Data Registry Reporting

The objective of this measure is to submit electronic data to health registries.

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 can be achieved through any one of the following options:

Completed Registration to Submit Data. The MIPS-eligible clinician registered to submit data with the CDR to which the information is being submitted; registration was completed within 60 days after the start of the performance period; and the MIPS-eligible clinician is awaiting an invitation from the CDR to begin testing and validation. This option allows MIPS-eligible clinicians to meet the measure when the CDR has limited resources to initiate the testing and validation process. MIPS-eligible clinicians that have registered in previous years do not need to submit an additional registration to meet this requirement for each performance period.

Testing and Validation. The MIPS-eligible clinician is in the process of testing and validation of the electronic submission of data. MIPS-eligible clinicians must respond to requests from the CDR within 30 days; failure to respond twice within a performance period would result in that MIPS-eligible clinician not meeting the measure.

Production. The MIPS-eligible clinician has completed testing and validation of the electronic submission and is electronically submitting production data to the CDR.

This measure is not required to fulfill the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange objective. This measure contributes up to 5 bonus points.

You can receive up to 5 bonus points for one of the following measures. You cannot receive more than 5 bonus points.

You may receive bonus points even if you claimed an eligible exclusion from both of the required measures and, thus, your Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange objective was reweighted to zero.

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.
