Frequently Asked Questions:

What is a QCDR? 
A Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) is a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved vendor that is in the business of improving health care quality. These organizations may include specialty societies, regional health collaboratives, large health systems or software vendors working in collaboration with one of these medical entities. We have combined the clinical expertise of the Hawkins Foundation with the Sharecare technology platform to meet the unique demands within the complex and fast-pace orthopaedic practice world.

How can a QCDR help improve patient care?
One of the ways QCDRs can help to improve the quality of care patients receive is by collecting clinical data from clinicians and reporting this data to CMS on their behalf for purposes of MIPS. QCDR submission differs from qualified registry submission in that QCDRs can submit non-MIPS measures, called QCDR measures, as well as standard MIPS quality measures. We also submit data for the Promoting Interoperability and Improvement Activities categories on behalf of the clinician(s)

How are OrthoQCDR measures uniquely beneficial to the practice? 
Our OrthoQCDR MIPS Quality Measures are:
• Not available in the annual list of Quality Payment Program (QPP) measures
• Substantially different compared to the population covered by an existing QPP measure
• Submitted in a different manner than existing QPP measure
• Developed by a collaboration of our scientist and industry experts.
