1 September 26, 2017 United States Huse f Representatives Cmmittee n Ways & Means 1102 Lngwrth Huse Office Building Washingtn D.C WMPrviderFeedback@mail.huse.gv Dear Chairman Tiberi: Thank yu fr the pprtunity t ffer ur cmments n the Huse Ways & Means Health Subcmmittee s Prvider Statutry & Regulatry Relief Initiative. The Natinal Cmmittee fr Quality Assurance (NCQA) is striving t significantly reduce burden by develping a fully autmated system fr quality measure reprting. This will: Allw physicians and ther health prfessinals t fcus n patient care; Prvide ready access t much richer clinical data in electrnic systems including utcmes than in the claims used fr mst quality reprting tday; Supprt use f that richer data fr brader and faster quality imprvement; and Substantially imprve the accuracy f data used fr value-based payments under the Medicare Access & CHIP Reauthrizatin Act (MACRA) and ther pay-fr-perfrmance prgrams. NCQA is wrking tward multiple slutins t achieve these imprtant gals. The first f these is ur emeasure Certificatin prgram, which tests a system s ability t prduce valid perfrmance measure results. emeasure Certificatin & Data Intermediaries By using industry standards t test target systems, NCQA s certificatin helps t ensure that when a clinician is crrectly dcumenting care with their electrnic health recrd (EHR), they can be assured the certified system will be interperable with ther EHR mdules and accurately reprt perfrmance. The burden f the clinician is minimized because the data needed t reprt quality measures shuld be autmated as a result f the validated interperability and reprting tests that NCQA cnducts. Here s hw it wrks: 1. NCQA s emeasure Certificatin evaluates a target system s ability t ingest cntinuity f care dcuments (CCDs) the equivalent f the medical recrd. 2. The prgram expects the target system t parse thrugh data prvided t them by NCQA and accurately identify the crrect recrds that meet a given measure specificatin. 3. The system must then be able t send NCQA the crrect recrds in QRDA 1 and QRDA 3 frmats. These are the frmats used fr the Healthcare Effectiveness Data & Infrmatin Set (HEDIS ), Medicare Stars, and ther ambulatry quality reprting prgrams.
2 Relying n this certificatin will facilitate greater autmatin in quality reprting. Fr example, nce a data intermediary such as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) achieves certificatin, it can autmatically pull the crrect data frm a clinician s EHR t build a reliable and valid perfrmance measure. This takes the wrk f measure reprting ut f the clinician s hands and allws them t allcate time therwise spent in frnt f a cmputer t mre time spent in frnt f a patient. Eventually NCQA wants t streamline this prcess even mre. At present, as measure specificatins evlve with clinical guidelines, vendrs must update individual iteratins f their quality reprting sftware. Often the same sftware has hundreds f iteratins at different practices acrss the cuntry, leading t significant administrative burden fr bth vendrs and practice managers. NCQA is trying t change that. Our gal is t intervene upstream f this prblem by wrking directly with ur certified data intermediaries, such as QCDRs, t update measure specificatins within their sftware instead f the individual EHR installatins. In this new wrld, the data intermediaries wuld cntinue t pull data frm EHRs as they nrmally wuld. Hwever, because we can wrk directly with the intermediaries t ensure their measure specificatins are up-t-date, vendrs and practices managers wuld n lnger be respnsible fr burdensme updates t quality reprting sftware. MACRA Reprting Burden The ther area we believe yu culd reduce burden n prviders is related t participatin in QPP particularly n the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) track. Under MIPS, Patient-Centered Medical Hmes (PCMHs) and Patient-Centered Specialty Practices (PCSPs) receive aut-credit fr the Imprvement Activities prtin f the MIPS scre. We believe yu shuld als prvide Advancing Care Infrmatin aut-credit t PCMHs and PCSPs because f the strng fcus n use f HIT in standards fr these prgrams. ACI aut-credit wuld reduce unnecessary burden fr clinicians wh have already cmpleted the rigrus PCMH r PCSP recgnitin prcess. Recgnized clinicians have demnstrated t NCQA fr a perid f at least 90 days hw they use HIT t imprve patient care, and must update NCQA annually n perfrmance in key areas t maintain recgnitin. Appendices A & B crsswalk the substantial verlap between HIT prvisins in NCQA PCMH and PCSP standards and ACI requirements and measures. Thank yu fr the pprtunity t prvide feedback. We lk frward t cllabrating with yu t meaningfully reduce administrative burden while als imprving the accuracy and efficiency f perfrmance measurement. If yu have any questins, please cntact Paul Cttn, Directr f Federal Affairs, at cttn@ncqa.rg r (202) Sincerely, Margaret O Kane, President 2
