This webinar thoroughly explains four key changes in the 2021 Quality Payment Program (QPP) Final Rule: the discontinuation of the CMS Web Interface, the introduction of the Alternative Payment Model (APM) Performance Pathway (APP), the discontinuation of the APM scoring standard, and the expanded use of the APM entity submitter type. These changes create eight new challenges in quality measurement for ACOs in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) and ACO participants in the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). Darren O’Brien, Client Development Director for Regulatory Measures at Health Catalyst, and Rachel Katz, Senior Vice President of Product Development at Health Catalyst and former CEO of Able Health, analyze each change, discuss the new challenges created, and demonstrate how Health Catalyst solutions can help. This webinar accomplishes the following: - Analyzes the four key changes. - Evaluates the eight new challenges. - Creates solutions for each new challenge.
