The APP submission window is closed, and it is time for a debrief. If you’re like most, some aspects went well, but there are definitely opportunities for improvement. It’s likely that at least one of your measures suffered from a gap in documentation rather than a gap in care, and that others were not fully implemented until the last minute, meaning that there was no time to improve.
Now that you’ve navigated through the APP, it’s time to learn from your experience, and ensure that reporting is a pillar of your quality strategy, not an add-on. Staffing shortages, combined with reporting requirements, ACO savings targets and the introduction of additional mandatory risk models like TEAM and ASM dictate that success can only come through a comprehensive strategy, not a series of projects.
Learn how these concepts can transform quality reporting from an administrative hurdle into the foundation of a quality strategy that produces greater savings, and better outcomes for your patients:
· Principles of documentation for quality measure data capture
· Navigating conflicting eCQM/Medicare and MIPS CQM specs
· Debunking myths of easy data collection
· When to rely on CMS data (and when not to)
· Leverage APP quality measures to combat disease progression
· How an APP platform supports success in TEAM and ASM
· Remove data silos to prevent fragmentation and improve attribution
· Apply APP findings to episodes and reduce TCOC
