eCQMs 101: Getting StartedEven though eCQMs have been around for a while now and this is not the first year that eCQMs were required as a part of the IQR program, the eCQMs 101 webinar continued to be our most popular webinar. Perhaps this is a reflection of what we are seeing as an emerging trend. The Quality department is beginning to get more involved in eCQMs. Historically this has been handled mostly by the IT department. Since eCQMs are becoming more of a focus for the Quality department, more people are interested in learning all that they can about them. |

CMS Inpatient Quality Reporting Program in 2018Rounding out the list of content for 2017 is the webinar CMS Inpatient Quality Reporting Program in 2018. Turns out, the people who consume our content are big planners. They want to know how they should prepare for the upcoming year and they want to know this in advance of the new year. You can catch this webinar on-demand or sign up for the repeat session on January 17 at 1 pm EST. |
And that’s a wrap! We hope you’ve had a chance to enjoy these educational resources either throughout the year or here at the end of the year.
To help you get started on next year we’ve included two guides below. One for the IQR requirements in 2018 and the other for MIPS requirements in 2018. Enjoy!
