EHR Intelligence July 11, 2017
MedPAC issued a detailed proposal to Congress requesting simplified MIPS reporting requirements and further incorporation of patient outcomes.
A congressional agency recently issued its June report highlighting the need to improve the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) track part of the Quality Payment Program (QPP) by reducing administrative burden and increasing the importance of positive patient health outcomes.
Presently, physicians participating in MIPS will be assessed based on quality, cost, practice improvement, and use of EHRs.
Physicians participating in the advanced alternative payment model (AAPM) track take on more risk to qualify for higher incentive payments. Physicians using advanced APMs earn up to a 5 percent incentive payment starting in 2019 for delivering high quality coordinated patient care.
