MIPS Webinar

Please join us for:

"The MIPS Experience: A HCH First Year Participant Story"
Tuesday, June 12 from Noon – 12:45 pm

Participants in the CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP)/Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) program completed their first measurement year in 2017 and submitted data by the end of March 2018. In this webinar, led by Stratis Health, we’ll look back at some of the challenges and lessons learned from the first year and discuss considerations for 2018 with a clinic that is both a Minnesota certified Health Care Home and a participant in CMS’ MIPS program.

Learning Objectives

Participants in this webinar will acquire knowledge and skills for:

  • Anticipating challenges and hurdles during the first year of MIPS
  • Applying lessons learned in first year to second year participation in MIPS
  • Recalibrating strategy from the first year participation in MIPS to the second
  • Aligning Health Care Homes certification with successful participation in MIPS

Preregistration to attend the webinar is required. Registration information is found at the HCH website.
