The 2016 Annual Quality Resource Utilization Reports have been released!<\/h1>\n

November 16, 2017<\/h5>\n
Written by Sharon Phelps<\/h6>\n

CMS released the 2016 Annual Quality and Resource Utilization Reports (QRUR) and the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) Feedback Reports in September. These reports provide a wide array of information and data but, first, you have to gain access to them.<\/p>\n

The CMS Enterprise Identity Management system (EIDM) is a portal to allow secure, authenticated access to multiple CMS applications. Depending on your role and your practice, you may have access to more than one CMS application within the EIDM portal. <\/p>\n

To access the QRUR and PQRS Feedback Report, you will use the Physician Quality and Value programs (PQ-PV) application. An EIDM account and specific roles are required for participants to access these resources.<\/p>\n

EIDM registration consists of two parts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Registering for a generic EIDM account (relatively simple)<\/li>\n
  2. Gaining access to the PQ-PV domain to view information and perform specific actions related to your practice (more complicated!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you already have an EIDM account<\/strong>, scroll to the bottom of the blog where we have a link for you.<\/p>\n

    If you do not already have an EIDM account<\/strong>, here is a very helpful resource:<\/p>\n

    https:\/\/qpp.cms.gov\/docs\/QPP_New_EIDM_Account.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t let the fact this is a 27-page document intimidate or overwhelm you. Pages 1 \u2013 3 contain general information. Starting on page 4, this document uses screen shots and detailed instructions to walk you through the process. <\/p>\n

    If you are unsure if someone at your practice has already obtained EIDM access for your practice, you can contact the Quality Payment Program by phone at 866-288-8292 and they can tell you who at your facility has access.<\/p>\n

    Once you receive email notification acknowledging you have successfully created an EIDM account or have obtained an EIDM account, you will need to request access to the PQ-PV application. Those instructions start on page 7 in the document above. <\/p>\n

    The first decision you need to make in requesting access is to determine what ROLE you will be requesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
