- Pathologists Quality Registry Earns 2024 Approval and 3 New Measures to Improve Practice Performance, Payment
The CAP’s Pathologists Quality Registry once again received approval and its qualified clinical data registry status from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This recognizes our registry’s ability to improve care for patients and collect quality data to submit for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). The Pathologists Quality Registry reduces pathologists’ burdens when participating in MIPS by providing practice-specific guidance, consolidating reporting for both the Quality and the Improvement Activities categories and providing pathology practices with real-time performance benchmark reports.
The is the CAP’s eighth consecutive year as a QCDR. The CAP has the oldest pathology QCDR and the only QCDR focused exclusively on supporting pathologists in MIPS. CAP’s registry is the highest-scoring option for pathologists, with more pathology QCDR measures than any other registry.
To support pathologists, the Pathologists Quality Registry offers pathology-specific quality measures and several data pathway options to report quality measures. The registry will offer 15 pathology quality reporting measures for MIPS, most of which are exclusively available in the Pathologists Quality Registry. This includes three new measures created by the CAP and approved by the CMS to ensure pathologists who participate in the CAP’s Registry can achieve higher scores.
