A clinical registry that supports Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) reporting, whether through a qualified registry (QR) or a qualified clinical data registry (QCDR), is one piece of a comprehensive solution that drives quality improvement.
Clinicians who participate in QCDRs drive their own success with quality reporting. They also:
Whether MIPS is core to your program, simply a practical way to support your clinicians and members, or both, you need a reporting solution that makes participation easy, successful, and sustainable. Here’s our approach to MIPS reporting through QCDRs and QRs.
A Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) includes the right measures that gauge performance and ultimately improve quality. Your QCDR should allow for annual updates to specialty-specific measures and adjustments to the MIPS program.
Clinicians need their MIPS solution to be easy and effective. Automated data collection removes the burden of participation. Intuitive reports make it simple for clinicians to see how they are performing, make adjustments and improvements, and optimize reimbursements.
A modern QCDR platform should make MIPS program administration a breeze. It should handle everything from provider onboarding to technical support so you can focus on providing the clinical expertise needed to make participation meaningful.
With the right technology, you can make both MIPS reporting and registry participation simple and easy. RegistryX offers powerful and practical MIPS tools that are fully integrated with your registry. The data available in RegistryX is automatically available for MIPS and any related quality improvement efforts. Clinicians and administrators will be able to:

The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is a Quality Payment Program that financially incentivizes improving care quality. A qualified clinical data registry (QCDR) can serve as a MIPS reporting solution, while supporting individual clinician and specialty-wide performance improvement.
Specifically, a QCDR can:
While clinical data registries provide the framework for quality improvement in many healthcare settings, QCDRs are uniquely positioned to drive robust engagement by specialist physicians. By offering relevant, specialty-specific quality measures, QCDRs can be used to satisfy MIPS reporting requirements. The most effective quality measures in this context are those that seamlessly integrate into clinician workflow, have low barriers for data collection, fairly attribute outcomes to the proper clinician, and measure performance gaps in a manner that allows for feedback and subsequent improvement.
