  • EHR Vendor Fact Sheet: Outlines the steps EHR vendors can take to submit MIPS data on behalf of eligible clinicians for the Quality, Advancing Care Information, and Improvement activities performance categories.
  • Advancing Care Information Performance Category Fact Sheet: Details the Advancing Care Information performance category measures, reporting requirements, and scoring.
  • 2017 Advancing Care Information Measure and Transition Measure Specifications: Includes additional details on each objective and measure in the Advancing Care Information performance category.
  • MIPS Advancing Care Information Deep Dive Webinar Recording: Includes a discussion about the Advancing Care Information performance category requirements in 2017, including a Q&A session with CMS subject matter experts.
