Wiki PQRI Info?

[Partha]

How many PQRI measures must a practice report to Medicare to be considered as successful reporting? Some basic/necessary info on implementing PQRI for various specialties will be greatly appreciated!!!

Pqri

There are 153 measures for PQRI in 2009.

Atleast 3 of the measures needed to be followed for PQRI, which is to be reported 80% of the reporting services by the physician.

Can you elaborate "80% of the reporting services by the physician"?

Greatly appreciate your response!

If you want to make it somewhat simpler, take a look at the reporting groups. A physician has to report all measures in a group for 30 consecutive patients to qualify but once the 30 are done, you don't have to report on any more for the year.

Hi Debra,

Please explain the meaning of # 30 consequtive patient?

I read as 80% of the service he need to report with PQRI codes
