What is PQRS?

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.
