Video Summary

In this video, Jill Rathbun talks about the Medicare Quality Payment Program (QPP), which is a replacement for the old Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) and other quality payment programs. She explains the different components of the QPP, including quality measures, clinical improvement activities, and advancing care information. Rathbun emphasizes that participation in the program is optional and physicians can choose whether to report as individuals or groups. She also discusses the concept of "go at your own pace," which allows physicians to choose different levels of participation for the first year of the program. Additionally, she explains the scoring and payment adjustment process, highlighting the opportunity for physicians to receive extra bonus payments if they are in the top 25% of performers. Rathbun provides information on where to find resources and tools to help physicians navigate the program, such as the CMS website and search engines for quality measures and improvement activities. Overall, the video serves as an introduction to the QPP and provides an overview of its key components and options for participation. No explicit credits were mentioned in the video.
