Outcome PQRS Registry: a simpler approach to getting your reimbursement

The PQRS registry by Outcome, A Quintiles company, is a CMS qualified, web-based registry that provides practices with a simpler approach to receiving their reimbursement.

The registry approach significantly simplifies the reporting process by using clinical data that clinicians are accustomed to and separating the process from the claims submission process. Data can be entered in the registry at any time throughout the year and then is reported as a single transmission to CMS by Outcome at the end of the reporting period (e.g. annually).

Leverage Existing Data
Our unique registry allows practices to leverage data that you have already collected and reduces data entry with an upload tool and integration capabilities, allowing data exchange to and from other practice systems, including practice management systems and electronic health record (EHR) systems.
Configurable by Provider
Whether you are a one-physician or a multi-specialty medical group, each practice enrolled receives an account tailored to their requirements and has the ability to select their measures, choose the reporting time period, view the data that has already been collected, and add additional data if needed. Physicians who also participate in other Outcome programs, such as our hospital-based programs and programs with physician and surgical specialty societies, may also be able to see data from those programs in their account.

Advice on Best Implementation
Our PQRS team has analyzed PQRS specialty by specialty to find the most efficient measure selections (least work effort required approach for each specialty). Our knowledgeable physician-led team is available to provide practices with guidance on the most efficient and effective methods to report their PQRS measures based on physician specialty requirements.
Electronic Prescribing (eRx) Incentive Payment
The Outcome registry offers practices the opportunity to participate in the CMS eRx Incentive Program and qualify for the 0.5% eRx incentive payment through the same program—at no additional cost. The Outcome registry includes the option to collect the appropriate eRx measure and Outcome transmits the data to CMS.

What is PQRS?
Created in March 2007, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) established a financial incentive for eligible healthcare professionals to participate in a voluntary quality reporting program. In 2011, CMS changed the program name to the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS).
Outcome is qualified to report all Individual Measures and Measures Groups, which can be reported to CMS by physicians and other caregivers in hospitals or physician practices. The PQRS offers the opportunity to earn a 0.5% incentive payment.
