Immunization Registry Reporting Measure
The MIPS eligible clinician is in active engagement with a public health agency (PHA) to submit immunization data and receive immunization forecasts and histories from the public health immunization registry/immunization information system (IIS). All vaccines must be reported to the registry. Registries are not only for reporting pediatric vaccines, but adult vaccines as well.
MIPS eligible clinician must open a support case with Kareo to initiate the registration process.
Exclusions: | Any MIPS eligible clinician meeting one or more of the following criteria may be excluded from the Immunization Registry Reporting measure if the MIPS eligible clinician:
|
Attestation: | Yes / No |
Performance Score Weight: | 10 points if “yes” to both Immunization Registry Reporting and Electronic Case Reporting measures, OR if one “yes” and one exclusion is claimed. Then, if no “yes” responses and two exclusions are claimed the points are redistributed to “Provide Patient Electronic Access to their Health Information”. If two “no” responses, then zero (0) for both Provide Patient Electronic Access to Health Information and Promoting Interoperability Performance Category. |
Additional Information: | The measures under the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange objective are reported using “yes or no” responses. The MIPS eligible clinician will receive the full 10 points for reporting two “yes” responses, or for submitting a “yes” for one measure and claiming an exclusion for another. If there are no “yes” responses and two exclusions are claimed, the 10 points will be redistributed to the Provide Patients Electronic Access to Their Health Information measure. Reporting on more than one of the three optional measures for this objective will not result in more than 5 bonus points. |
Electronic Case Reporting Measure
The MIPS eligible clinician is in active engagement with a public health agency (PHA) to submit electronic case reporting.
Note: Kareo providers can claim exclusion for calendar year 2022 as Kareo works to implement electronic case reporting.
Exclusions: | Any MIPS eligible clinician meeting one or more of the following criteria may be excluded from the Electronic Case Reporting measure if the MIPS eligible clinician:
|
Attestation: | Yes / No |
Performance Score Weight: | 10 points if “yes” to both Immunization Registry Reporting and Electronic Case Reporting measures, OR if one “yes” and one exclusion is claimed. Then, if no “yes” responses and two exclusions are claimed the points are redistributed to “Provide Patient Electronic Access to their Health Information”. If two “no” responses, then zero (0) for both Provide Patient Electronic Access to Health Information and Promoting Interoperability Performance Category. |
