MIPS Assessment Categories
• Quality initially includes measures from PQRS, EHR MU, & Qualified Clinical
Data Registries (QCDRs)
• Resource Use initially includes measures from VM and episodes of care
• EHR Meaningful Usedemonstrated by use of a certified system (not likely to apply to hospital-
based physicians)
• Clinical Practice Improvement Activitiesgives credit for clinical practice improvement activities such as MOC
Part IV and QCDRs.
How do QCDRs Fit Into MIPS?• QCDRs will continue to be an important pathway to
participation in the MIPS. • The Secretary shall encourage the use of QCDRs.• Measures used by QCDRs may also be used to assess
performance.• Use of QCDRs maintained by physician specialty
organizations• Professionals may also receive confidential feedback on
performance through QCDRs.• The Secretary is required to make Medicare claims data
available to requesting QCDRs.
Total Impact of Participation in the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS)
PQRS Programs: 2014 2015
• Traditional PQRS Incentive +0.5% payment in 2015
• PQRS MOC Incentive +0.5% payment in 2015
Total Potential PQRS Incentives
+1.0% in 2015
• PQRS Penalties For Failure to Report
-2.0% in 2016 -2.0% in 2017
• Value-based Modifier (VM)* For Failure to Report PQRS*
-2.0% in 2016 -4.0% in 2017
Total Potential PQRS/VBPM Penalties
-4.0% in 2016 -6.0% in 2017
PQRS Reporting Mechanisms• Claims-based submission of Quality Data Codes (QDCs)• EHR submission for MU Incentive• GPRO Web Interface (primary care measures)• Traditional Registry Reporting of PQRS Measures • Qualified Clinical Data Registries (QCDRs)
Traditional PQRS registries Qualified Clinical Data Registries (QCDRs)
Provide quality data for Medicare patients only Provides quality data on patients from all payers
Limited to PQRS measures Includes PQRS measures plus up to 30 additional specialty specific measures
Requires new “cross-cutting” measures Does not require “cross-cutting” measure
Requires groups of 100 or more to report “PQRS-CAHPS”
Does not require CAHPS reporting
Less control over quality measures reported More meaningful measures to choose from
Quality measure data collected will be used to calculate the quality composite of the Value Modifier.
CMS will not include first-year QCDR measures in the VM quality composite until such time as CMS has historical data to calculate benchmarks for them. For the 2017 VM, in cases where groups are assessed under the “50% option” and all EPs report via QCDR in 2015, then CMS will classify the group’s quality composite score as ‘‘average’’.
What is CEDR?
• CEDR = Clinical Emergency Data Registry
• The first specialty-wide registry at a national level, designed to measure and report healthcare quality and outcomes.
• It will also provide data to identify practice patterns, trends and outcomes in emergency care.
CEDR GoalsThe scope of CEDR is to accept patient data from practicing emergency physicians and clinicians on the care provided to emergency department patients. These data will inform the main goals of CEDR, which are to:
1. Provide a unified method for ACEP members to collect and submit Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) data, MOC, OCC, Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE), outcome data, and other related or applicable quality and patient safety data to meet quality improvement and regulatory requirements.
2. Promote the highest quality of emergency care for our patients.
3. Demonstrate the value of emergency care.
4. Facilitate appropriate emergency care research.

CEDR Data Collection• Data Pull Method:
− FIGMD fully manages the reporting process, with minimal impact to the practice.
− The vendor installs software on your local server, which queries the EMR's backend database and extracts relevant clinical data.
− This software runs passively in the background and does not affect clinical workflows or EMR performance.
• How long will it take for the first initial data extraction to be completed after mapping? Initially, it takes two to three weeks to collect the data. After data is
collected, FIGMD reviews it with the practice and makes any necessary mapping adjustments.
CEDR Data Collection continued
• Data Push Method- CEDR will provide participants with a template and data dictionary- Participants will upload their own data from Revenue Cycle
Management system (aka billing and coding/practice management systems) &/or electronic health record
