Frequently Asked Questions
APCM documentation overlaps significantly with MIPS quality measures and improvement activities. By documenting care management consistently, you generate the data needed to meet the MIPS performance threshold.
Yes, AI-powered call systems can use structured scripts to ask screening questions (like depression or tobacco use) and record the answers directly into the EHR for MIPS reporting.
MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs) offer a more focused set of measures tailored to specific specialties or conditions, making it easier to align APCM activities with reporting requirements.
Both programs prioritize patient access to health data. APCM requires patient engagement, which can be used to satisfy MIPS Promoting Interoperability measures like patient portal use.
