Passed in April 2015, MACRA is one of the most significant pieces of healthcare-related federal legislation that we've seen in at least a decade. It holds enormous transformative potential for payment reform efforts, but it's also complex to understand and put into practice.
The Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement Navigating Payment Reform series will provide Practice Transformation Networks and their providers with information on Quality Payment Program (QPP) requirements and national and regional perspectives on preparing to succeed in value based-care environments.
In the second module in this series, Maine Quality Counts (Northern New England PTN) team members Lisa Tuttle and Kellie Slate Vitcavage, along with several of their community partners, will walk through the MIPS Improvement Activity category and how clinicians can leverage their current activities to meet these reporting requirements.
Learning objectives for this module include:
