Accountable care organizations (ACOs) face unique burdens to comply with CMS’s new quality reporting requirements as summarized in this 2021 MedCity News article. Challenges are particularly acute for ACOs that delayed conversion from CMS’s Web Interface to the new electronic clinical quality measures (eCQM) quality reporting. Many ACOs have made the change. But many have not.
With only six months remaining, now is the time for all ACOs participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) to solidify their eCQM reporting capabilities. ACOs must gather data from all their EHRs and across all patients regardless of payer to comply with eCQM.
This article provides clear guidance for MSSP ACOs that have yet to meet the new quality reporting requirements.
