How to Choose a Quality Reporting System Vendor

Which Quality Reporting Program(s) Do You Need to Submit to?

Nowadays, quality reporting is leaking into every facet of a hospital’s day-to-day routine. In the past, you have submitted your chart abstracted measures to the CMS Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) program, attested for Meaningful Use and called it a day. Not anymore. Hospitals must now be mindful of the changing requirements for the various reporting programs which affect a hospital’s finances and public ranking. Eligible Hospitals and Eligible Providers are submitting to the IQR program, PQRS, The Joint Commission and Meaningful Use—and program requirements change from year-to-year. For example, the IQR program is incorporating Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQM) data as an additional reporting requirement.

The first step you should take when selecting a quality vendor is to write a list of all of the programs you must or would like to submit data to. Then, evaluate your hospital’s needs for each program. Take a look at the example list below.
