CQI requested that Michael submits a GForge request against the FHIR Measure Report. Bryn will evaluate how best to handle the request and will report back at a future CQI call. CMS MACRA Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) NPRM – Discussion occurred concerning the comments that had been collected today and the following 2 items were added: CQI requests clarification concerning the use of QRDA for submitting program objectives and measures from QCDRs and qualified registries. The rule is not specific concerning whether QRDA Category I (patient-level data) or QRDA Category III (aggregate data) will be utilized. We recommend the use of standards to share information with QCDRs that address HL7 FHIR® Implementation Guide: Structured Data Capture (SDC), Release 1 DSTU. Such standards encourage sharing of electronic data rather than merely allowing manual data entry to manage measurement while avoiding adherence to interoperability standards. Ben West moved to approve these items and Patty Craig seconded No Further Discussion Opposed: 0; abstentions: 1; approved: 10 Approved DSTU Comment Review These items were not covered due to timing constraints.
