-In this demo, we are going to look
at how you can report the APP
for an ACO within the QPP program.
To start, we're going to go to QPP.CMS.gov
and enter our information
associated with our HARP account.
We'll have our user ID and password,
and then from there, we're going to have to attest
to the stated truth.
Once we click "Sign In" and have been authorized,
we are going to land on our home page,
which then shows us that the submission reporting window
is now open, and we have the ability to report.
Once we click on "Start Reporting,"
we're going to evaluate our APM Entities.
Underneath this user, we have two different
APM Entities that we're looking at.
If I click on "Start Reporting," you can see that we are then
guided to the Reporting Options page.
On this page, we have the ability to either, one,
report through the APP or, two, report via Traditional MIPS.
Both of these options are then available
through the "Start Reporting" button.
Once I click on "Start" Reporting,
since the entity we are evaluating is associated
with the Shared Savings Program,
this Entity is required to report the APP
to meet the requirements of the Shared Savings Program.
On this page, you can see
that we have the ability to scroll down and view
the information associated with each one of the categories.
We have full credit for improvement activities
that's auto-credit-assigned.
There has been no data associated with PI.
This won't be available until after the submission period ends
and then will be associated with all of your participants,
that this score will be rolled up
and then assigned down.
For the quality category,
we have the ability to then go "View & Edit."
On this page, you can see that you have the available options
of either, one, manually uploading data,
two, using the CMS Web Interface
or, three, if you're working through a third-party agency
that is responsible for reporting your data,
that you would want to contact them
to alert them that no data has been submitted.
Any type of CMS Web Interface submission,
or an ACO within the Shared Savings Program,
will only be applied to APP reporting
and is not eligible for any type of Traditional MIPS reporting.
If you are uploading a file associated with APP,
you are going to need to report the three required measures
for the APP,
which are Measure 1, 134 and 236.
And then, additionally, as Shared Savings Programs
do have the Multiple Chronic Conditions Measure,
that would be applied at the ACO level.
This measure will be available
once the submission period closes.
In addition to the MCC,
they would also be required to register
and successfully participate within the CAHPS survey
and, if meeting all of the thresholds
for the Hospital-Wide Readmission Measure,
this would then be applied post submission.
During the submission period, you will see only
the three measures that you've submitted as well
as a placeholder for the three additional measures
that may be applied after the submission closes.
If using the CMS Web Interface,
you'll see updates once the information has been completed,
and you will be able to view your score,
and in addition, the three measures that apply
after the submission period closes
for the eCQM or CQM version
would also be applied on top of the CMS Web Interface score.
This concludes the demo for APP
reporting for Shared Savings Program
ACOs within the QPP platform.
