Why use QCDR-HISP to help clients with State Medicaid quality reports?

1) Your QCDR can offer new services to EPs

Your QCDR uses QCDR-HISP to help clients complete CMS PQRS and State Medicaid quality reports. 
(See diagram A) 

2) Differentiation

Few registries are providing Multi-Jurisdictional Support for Quality Reporting.

3) Income stream

Like tax programs, your registry can charge more for the Multi-Jurisdictional quality report service

4) Solves regulatory issues without diluting your product focus
Most quality report platforms do not precisely track both Federal and State Medicaid regulatory environments.
(See Diagram B).  For example:

  • CMS have changed QRDA specs 3 times in past 3 years
    • There is a delayed ripple effect from any CMS updates and State Medicaid reports .
  • Format and content rules vary state to state.
    • State formats are different than the current Federal/CMS standards
    • States rules changes annually (usually)

Multiply the resources required to track these regulatory issues by 50 states, and your registry would best double it's staff.  And higher administrative charges that alienates customers. 

The design of the QCDR-HISP facilitates tracking PQRS and the Medicaid electronic reporting rules for all 50 states for each report period.

5) Simplifies regulatory environment of an audit:

QCDR-HISP maintains context dependent audit trails to reproduce the report rule set for the year under administrative review.
 

Business transactions can be structured to benefit all parties

Any one of the following processes can be established to make sure the EP's quality report needs are met:

  1. EP manages contacts and accounts
    Client (i.e. your QCDR) refers EP directly to QCDR-HISP
    QCDR-HISP agrees to pay referral charge to client. 
    EP  interacts directly with QCDR-HISP to convert and transmit converted quality report.  This approach minimizes the time to resolve issues.
     
  2. QCDR remains single point of contact to EP
    Registry retains all customer accounts, information and reports. 
    QCDR retains QCDR-HISP for multi-jurisdictional conversion processes. 
    QCDR retains all responsibility for report validation and transmission.
     
  3. QCDR licenses Multi-Jurisdictional Quality Report Converter (MJDQRC)
    QCDR obtains license and technology to internalize platform for multi-jurisdictional report conversion processor.
