Providers should expect to see some concrete action taken soon on reducing the burden of quality reporting, according to a CMS presentation on the agency’s “Meaningful Measures” initiative at the HIMSS18 conference in Las Vegas.
The goal of the initiative, first announced in October 2017, was to move away from process-focused measures to outcome-based metrics, reduce the volume of quality reporting overall and streamline measures across various CMS programs, all so physicians can spend more time with patients.
