5 Examples of What s Happening in the Field A 100-Clinician Organization Educating docs, building out more MIPS EHR measures, starting to understand cost for 2018 MIPS A Practice Transformation Network (PTN) Deploying a MIPS monitoring system across hundreds of small practices and tens of EHRs A For-Profit Health System Documenting IA s to avoid 2017 penalties and get onto 2018 MIPS planning A Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organization (MSSP ACO) Providing ACI support across TINs and EHRs An Academic Medical Center (AMC) Evaluating 2018 APM participation to avoid MIPS WEBINAR SERIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HITECHANSWERS.NET AND SAIGNITE.COM 5

6 Define Success for 2017 Is your org a penalty avoider or an incentive seeker? Notable 2017 MIPS thresholds: Performance Threshold = 3 Exceptional Performance Bonus Threshold = 70 To Penalty Avoiders: Avoid complacency! Rising thresholds Scores reported publicly Best Practice: Set score targets at clinician, TIN & ACO levels regardless of individual vs group reporting decision WEBINAR SERIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HITECHANSWERS.NET AND SAIGNITE.COM 6

7 Key Activities & Deadlines Educate your organization, particularly leadership WEBINAR SERIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HITECHANSWERS.NET AND SAIGNITE.COM 7

8 Educational Resources 10 FAQs About MIPS (Google mips ) 10 FAQs About APMs New v7.7! Free MIPS Financial Calculator (Google mips calculator ) Recorded MIPS monthly webinars and downloads: LinkedIn Group Merit-Based Incentive Payment System WEBINAR SERIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HITECHANSWERS.NET AND SAIGNITE.COM 8

9 Key Activities & Deadlines Baselining 1. Identify MIPS eligible clinicians (apply exclusions) 2. Calculate Medicare Part B $ subject to MIPS 3. For clinician/tin/aco, estimate baseline MIPS score using historical MU and PQRS measure values Note: if group reporting, must include data from clinicians individually excluded due to low-volume, first-year Medicare or AAPM participation exclusions) Estimate revenue impact of the baseline score WEBINAR SERIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HITECHANSWERS.NET AND SAIGNITE.COM 9

10 Key Activities & Deadlines SAI Free MIPS Financial Calculator v7.7 - Sensitivity Analysis WEBINAR SERIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HITECHANSWERS.NET AND SAIGNITE.COM 10

11 Key Activities & Deadlines Gap Analysis Identify required improvement on measures to reach target MIPS score Best Practice: Create multiple paths of measure improvement to achieve target Surface high-leverage improvement opportunities e.g. EHR re-configuration WEBINAR SERIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HITECHANSWERS.NET AND SAIGNITE.COM 11

12 Key Activities & Deadlines The Concept of Measure Leverage Current Performance = Baseline MIPS Score = 65 Improvement on #1 Measure due to N more tasks until EOY = Improved MIPS Score = = 70 Improvement on #2 Measure due to N more tasks until EOY = Improved MIPS Score = = 68 WEBINAR SERIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HITECHANSWERS.NET AND SAIGNITE.COM 12

13 Key Activities & Deadlines Select reporting methods and measures Best Practice: Compare individual to group reporting impacts on score Best Practice: Be cognizant that different methods have different measure benchmarks (see February 2017 ABCs of MIPS webinar) Best Practice: Factor clinician engagement and administrative burdens into selection decisions Budget, allocate, and organize resources for 2017 and 2018 Monitor measures and drive performance clinician peer comparison is a powerful motivator WEBINAR SERIES BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HITECHANSWERS.NET AND SAIGNITE.COM 13
