This video highlights
the 2022 data submission manual attestation
for the MIPS Promoting Interoperability
performance category.
We'll walk through how to attest or manually enter data
for the Promoting Interoperability category
on the QPP website.
Promoting Interoperability data
is reported at the individual or group level,
even if the quality data is reported at the APM Entity level
such as Shared Savings Program ACOs
reporting in the APP.
When reporting, we recommend
that you only use one submission method --
either manually attest or upload a file.
Any conflicting data between two submissions
will result in a score of zero for this category.
After signing in to the QPP website,
click Eligibility and Reporting on the homepage.
Here, you can see all practices your account is associated with.
Choose the practice and select the appropriate reporting button
based on whether your practice is reporting
as a group or individuals.
In this video, we'll choose group reporting,
but the process is the same
whether reporting as a group or individual.
Click Report as Group.
Clinicians and groups that have certain special statuses,
such as non-patient facing
or an approved hardship exception application,
are exempt from reporting
the Promoting Interoperability category.
This is indicated by NA.
We can see there is an NA
for Promoting Interoperability in the scoring section
as well as NA on the Promoting Interoperability card below.
Clinicians and groups who are exempt
have the option of still reporting for the category.
Within the card, select Create Manual Entry.
If the Promoting Interoperability category
is reweighted, you'll be presented with
a prompt reminding you of your current weights.
If you still want to proceed
with reporting this performance category,
select Yes, I Agree and Continue.
If you click Continue and enter any data,
including performance period dates,
you will receive a score in this performance category.
Otherwise, you can cancel out of the prompt.
For purposes of this video, this group has data to report,
so we'll continue with creating a manual entry.
Click Create Manual Entry.
From here, the system will take you step by step
through data required.
We start with the performance period.
When entering the dates, please remember you must report
at least 90 days of data for the category.
Anything less than 90 days will prompt a notification
reminding you of the requirement
and the resulting score of zero for this category.
When 90 days or more entered,
you'll move on to the next step, CEHRT,
or Certified EHR Technology, ID.
For detailed instructions on how to generate
a CMS EHR certification ID, review pages 26 to 29
of the Certified Health IT Product List,
or CHPL, Public User Guide.
After the CEHRT ID is entered,
the system will allow you to complete your responses
to the attestation statements.
The first three attestation statements are required.
Failure to answer will result in a score of zero
for the category.
From here, work your way through the required measures.
New for 2022 is the high priority practice guide
of the Safety Assurance Factors for EHR
SAFER Guides measure.
During the submission period,
you will attest to the SAFER Guide attestation measure
by entering a yes or no response.
Both yes and no satisfy reporting requirements
for this measure.
Failure to report either yes or no
for the high priority practices SAFER Guides measure
will result in no score for
the promoting interoperability performance category.
Also beginning in 2022,
there are now two required measures
for the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange measure:
Electronic Case Reporting and Immunization Register Reporting.
To earn an additional five bonus points
in this performance category, you can choose to report
one or more of the remaining optional measures.
There are five bonus points available
whether you report one,
two, or three of all the optional measures.
After all required data have been entered,
you will receive a prompt informing you that
all Promoting Interoperability objectives have been met,
and you can view your preliminary score.
On the left-hand navigation, select Group Reporting Overview.
Now, there will be a score populated.
You can review and change your responses
until the submission window closes.
