The requirements for regulatory programs have intensified year over year. IQR, OQR, MACRA, MIPS; the list of acronyms goes on and on. It’s difficult to keep up with these ever-changing requirements.
While this session will primarily focus on hospital and ambulatory care quality reporting in 2018, there are lessons on regulatory reporting that reach across the continuum of care. You’ll learn about the changes to the inpatient and ambulatory quality reporting programs and how they may impact care across the continuum. We will outline strategies that will help you prepare your hospital and clinicians for your best, most efficient reporting year yet.
