CMS isaccelerating its timeline transitioning Medicare to a value-based reimbursement model. Providers need a clear understanding of participation criteria, how to receive maximum compensation by reporting the right quality and cost data, and other fundamentals of this new payment structure. They furthermore need direction on how value-based care affects current reporting initiatives, what will change and what will stay the same.

Dr. Green of CMS’ Quality Measurement & Health Assessment Group has been involved with the PQRS and eRx initiatives since they began and today he leads both the registry and reporting for these programs. Prior to CMS, as a private practitioner he helped develop two separate electronic medical record systems.
