And, What Does a PQRSMeasure Group Look Like?
[By Staff Reporters]
At a basic level, a Physician Quality Reporting System [PQRS] is a program that pays medical providers for reporting outcomes on quality outcomes metrics for Medicare Part B patients.
Primary care and specialty care providers of all kinds can participate by selecting outcomes measures that are pertinent to their fields. There is something for most every specialty, even pathology and radiology.
For example, you may choose from a menu of outcome measures and pick those measures you want, or you can report on a predetermined group of measures that focus on a specific condition or situation, such as diabetes or perioperative care.
The CMS Document
According to the 655 page 2012 Physician Quality Reporting System Measure Specifications Manual for Claims and Registry Reporting of Individual Measures produced by CMS, here are some high-level descriptions of individual measures.
