CMS Transitions to New QPP Data Management System
PDF
The window is now open for eligible clinicians to submit their 2018 Quality Payment Program (QPP) data, including the technical component Promoting Interoperability (PI), but CMS changed to a new program for submissions late in December. Change: “CMS is transitioning the system used to create identity management accounts and request access to the QPP website from the Enterprise Identity Data Management System (EIDM) to the HCQIS Access Roles and Profile System (HARP),” said CMS in a release on the change. “All users will manage access to the organizations they represent for reporting quality data and viewing their MIPS feedback directly through the QPP website.” If you already have an EIDM user name and password, you’ll be using that information to access your QPP data. However, if you don’t, you’ll need to register for a HARP account to review your data and send submission. Access the HARP registration at https://qpp.cms.gov/login?page=register.
