Show Me the Quality-Show Me the Quality

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a presentation on the Quality Payment Program (QPP) under MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act). The presenters, Dr. Robert Flora and Dr. Sage Clayton, discuss the various components of the QPP, including the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and the Alternative Payment Model (APM). They explain how physicians will be assessed and reimbursed based on their performance in four categories: quality, resource use, clinical practice improvement activities, and advancing care information. They emphasize the importance of preparing for the QPP by educating oneself about the program, reviewing current baseline measures and electronic health record (EHR) capabilities, and understanding how to report and improve performance. For solo practitioners, the presenters advise getting familiar with the measures and activities required, ensuring their EHR is certified and can generate the necessary data, and considering joining a qualified clinical data registry specific to their specialty. The speakers also stress the need for collaboration and communication within larger practice groups to determine the best approach for reporting and improving quality measures. Overall, they urge physicians to start preparing now to effectively participate in the QPP and avoid penalties.
