Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS)

• U16279 - MIPS 2023 Reporting Update:  The MIPS Dashboard is now ready for 2023 reporting. There are some important steps your practice needs to follow in order to participate in the MIPS Promoting Operability 2023 performance period. You can review that checklist here. The following modifications were made to the MIPS Dashboard for 2023 Reporting: 
  • New Provider Updates:
    • Added a new third HIE (Health Information Exchange) measure option for Clinicians to select from, "Enabling Exchange Under TEFCA". 
      
  • All Measures - Scoring, Exclusion and Measurements we updated, as appropriate, to reflect the CMS Promoting Interoperability verbiage for 2023 reporting. 
  • All Measures - Scoring Logic and the ability to re-weight measure scores were updated to reflect the CMS PI Scoring for 2023. 
  • e-Prescribing Automated Measure:
    • Added the ability for Eligible Clinicians to attest to meeting the Exclusion for this measure if he/she has prescribed fewer than 100 prescriptions during the reporting period.
    • Removed the necessity to have the Formulary checks turned on for the duration of the reporting period in order to populate the numerator. 
  • Query of the PDMP Measure:
    • This measure is now a required measure for 2023 reporting. 
    • Added the ability for Eligible Clinicians to attest to meeting the exclusion for this measure. 
  • Provide Patients Electronic Access to their Health Information Automated Measure:
    • Modified when OfficeEMR sends patient encounter data to the MyMedicalLocker Patient Portal and new ONC G10 FHIR API's to occur when the Clinician signs a visit note. 
    • Singing a visit note will now send a CCDA file (for practices configured with the FHIR API's) to the FHIR APIs. Once the CCDA is received by the FHIR API, the patient will receive an invitation with instructions on how to access their data using the FHIR API's. 
    • Updated the measure numerator logic to now require providing both MyMedicalLocker Invitations (printed at checkout via Print Queue or via our Patient Intake Process) AND FHIR Welcome Emails sent to the patient for each visit in order to meet the numerator.
  • Referral Loops - Send Health Info. Measure:
    • Added the ability for Eligible Clinicians to attest to meeting the exclusion for this measure if his/her denominator is <100. 
  • Referral Loops - Receive & Incorporate Health Info. Measure:
    • Added the ability for Eligible Clinicians to attest to meeting the exclusion for this measure if his/her denominator is <100. 
  • Enabling Exchange Under TEFCA Measure:
    
    • Added the ability for Eligible Clinicians to attest to meeting the requirements of this measure if setup for the Clinician as his/her "HIE" option.
  • Public Health & Clinical Data Exchange Measures:
    • Updated attesting to meeting the exclusion to capture whether the Eligible Clinician is in Pre-Production and Validation Engagement or Validated Data Production Engagement.

Scan

• U15553 - Front Office Updates Insurance and Photograph:  During the check-in process, verifying and scanning cards can be time consuming.  This enhancement streamlines the process so that users select a category to scan into and if there is a document present (Insurance Card or Patient Photograph) in that category it is visible.  The user can visually verify the information to determine if there is a need to scan the newer document to replace it.   Likewise, if the selected category has no document stored, the Document Scan screen opens formatted to scan the respective document type.  This remains under the Patient dropdown > Primary Insurance Card, Secondary Insurance Card and Patient Photograph to utilize the current workflow.  
• U15554 - Front Office Updates Added Quick Scan:  To streamline the process for scanning a document other than Insurance cards and photographs, a Quick Scan button was added on the toolbar under the Patient dropdown.  The Custom Scan field utilizes the user defaults.
