Identifying physicians who can champion MIPS performance and education improvements; engaging HER vendors and health IT vendors helps in effective implementation of data analytics and quality reporting tools which ensure that MIPS is successful (Laguna Woods, Tyler, Vice, & Manchikanti, 2017).
Improved clinical documentation to maximize on MIPS points; the quality performance of MIPS can be maximized by eligible clinicians by ensuring clinical and coding documentation is achieved to meet the completeness requiremen...
