Medicare’s Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) is the beginning of a trend toward standardized measures from the AMA Physician Consortium on Performance Improvement — the first with revenues tied to meeting them.

ICLOPS was the first Registry to bring products out for PQRI. PQRI is a good starting point for physician quality measurement and education. We often help organizations get started there and expand to other programs.

At no charge, physicians working on their own can currently download Prompts at the ICLOPS website for coding patients with tracked PQRI conditions and procedures. These reflect up-to-date measures for each specialty, and it is a great way for physicians to get familiar with the expectations of quality measurement.

For physicians on the cutting edge who want to track quality and measure their performance under PQRI, ICLOPS implements the ICLOPS Registry and patient-specific Prompts. These work together to bring greater revenue to physicians and embark on a long-term quality process.

The ICLOPS Registry Dashboard tracks patients who missed quality coding at the time of visit, and can be corrected with the Registry when Medicare allows it. ICLOPS is participating in Medicare testing of Registry Reporting initiative in PQRI, to give physicians more options for reporting quality. We also have a variety of coding tools to increase the likelihood of providing services before the patient leaves the office.

I’m interested in asking Dr. Tom Dent or Terry Hush to help my organization decide how to participate in Medicare PQRI.
