A Guide to Meeting Promoting Interoperability Program Requirements

As the healthcare landscape evolves, so do the requirements for quality reporting. One such significant change for hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) in the upcoming year (CY 2024) is the mandatory requirement of the Antimicrobial Use and Resistance (AUR) Surveillance measure under the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange Objective in the Medicare Promoting Interoperability (PI) Program. 

CMS recently published the CY 2024 Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Final Rule, which finalized changes for the Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR) Program. In the final rule, CMS finalized modifications to three measures and finalized the adoption of two measures in the OQR Program. These modifications aim to further meaningful measurement and reporting of the quality of care provided in the outpatient setting. For the full text of the rule, see the Federal Register.

CMS recently published the CY 2024 Quality Payment Program (QPP) Final Rule which included numerous updates to MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs) and Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). For the full text of the rule, see the Federal Register.
