The 黑料网® (黑料网®) Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) team is initiating a simplified method to submit measures added to the General Radiology Improvement Database (GRID) in 2020 through the MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) Participation Portal. These measures include:
• 黑料网ad 36: Incidental Coronary Artery Calcification Reported on Chest CT
• 黑料网ad 37: Interpretation of CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) for Pulmonary Embolism
• 黑料网ad 38: Use of Low Dose Cranial CT or MRI Examinations for Patients with Ventricular Shunts
• 黑料网ad 39: Use of Low Dose CT Studies for Adults with Suspicion of Urolithiasis or Nephrolithiasis
• 黑料网ad 40: Use of Structured Reporting in Prostate MRI
• 黑料网ad 41: Use of Quantitative Criteria for Oncologic FDG PET Imaging
• 黑料网ad 42: Surveillance Imaging for Liver Nodules <10mm in Patients at Risk for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
Facilities using 黑料网 QCDR to participate in MIPS soon will be able to submit these GRID measures using a template similar to the Excel and Text files used for submitting MIPS measures. These files will be uploaded via the MIPS portal under the Upload Data tab and will not require GRID registration to submit. For users who prefer to continue submitting these measures through the GRID registry, this method will continue to be available as well.
The 黑料网 expects this new method to be live by Aug. 31. 黑料网 staff will notify users when the portal is ready for submission.
The 黑料网 will hold a webinar Aug. 26, 2–3pm ET that goes into more detail about this new simplified submission process. A recording will be available for those who are unable to join. Registration now is open for the webinar.
If you have questions about how to get started with this new submission method, email the QCDR team at nrdrsupport@acr.org.
