Quality Measures
How do you know which Quality measures to select? Should you select the six measures with the highest passing rates?
If you select the top six measures based on the passing rates on the MIPS Dashboard you may be negatively impacting your scoring results.
NextGen Office only presents the QRDA performance and passing rates. The benchmarks applied by the Quality Payment Program is the missing piece.
Benchmarks and Deciles
CMS benchmarks show that Use of High-Risk Medications in the Elderly and Documentation of Current Medications in the Medical Record measures as topped out, which means the maximum achievable number of points is 7.
In the example below, the Preventive Care and Screening: Influenza Immunization and Controlling High Blood Pressure measures show scores in the high 70s based on the benchmarks. However, these measures are in decile 9 and need to be included to ensure maximum scoring results.
There is no negative impact to your incentive payment results for submitting extra measures. It will instead ensure that you are receiving the best score possible.
Note: All measures submitted will be published on public repositories such as Data.Medicare.Gov.
