Healthcare DIVE March 19, 2018
Dive Brief:
- CMS is looking to overhaul MACRA and remove reporting barriers for quality measures, according to the Healthcare Financial Management Association.
- Dr. Kate Goodrich, director of the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality, said the agency is reviewing all quality measures under MACRA to determine if there are ways to “automatically extract required quality data from electronic records” that will relieve physicians needing to report such data.
- Goodrich, the agency’s CMO, said CMS isn’t turning back from the move to value-based payments and plans to launch more alternative payment models (APMs) this year.
Goodrich said CMS doesn’t expect these efforts will delay implementing MACRA requirements in 2019.
