| This webinar explains what PQRS is and why you should care?
The Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) is a reporting program that uses a combination of incentive payments and payment adjustments to promote reporting of quality information by eligible professionals. The program provides an incentive payment to practices with eligible professionals (identified on claims by their individual National Provider Identifier [NPI] and Tax Identification Number [TIN]) who satisfactorily report data on quality measures for covered Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) services furnished to Medicare Part B Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiaries (including Railroad Retirement Board and Medicare Secondary Payer). PQRS is mandated by federal legislation.
2012 should be considered the practice year if you aren't already successfully reporting PQRS measures to Medicare.
The CMS 2012 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule notes that 2015 program penalties will be based on 2013 performance. Consequently, those physicians who elect not to participate or are found unsuccessful during the 2013 program year, will receive a 1.5% payment penalty, and 2% thereafter.
These PQRS penalties will be above and beyond the e-Rx penalties. Unlike e-Rx, currently there are no established hardship exemptions for PQRS. Unlike e-Rx, practices are still eligible for the 2012 PQRS Incentive if they are participating with the Medicare EMR Meaningful Use program.
The webinar will cover:
What Medicare changes have been enacted for 2012?
What measures are available and best for my Interventional Pain Management practice?
What are the 2012 options for reporting PQRS?
Is it too late to start reporting PQRS for 2012?
What is an outcome measurement tool?
Know if you can earn Physician Quality Reporting incentive payments.

| In Healthcare, the single most important issue confronting providers is to improve patient quality of life and outcomes. A new tool to obtain these goals is the emerging benefits of Electronic Medical Records.
This webinar will include information on: Technology, Terminology, Privacy & Security, Care Transformation, Integration, Finance/Funding, selection of a system, and more. Among one of the most important issues facing Interventional Pain Practices is the deployment of an EMR/EHR system that can improve the clinicians effectiveness. Incentive money is available to assist this transition, which is mandated by CMS to occur by 2015, or be penalized by diminished revenue. Considerations that will covered include:
- Internet or local installation (ASP or client-server)
- The right type of system for your type of practice
- Improved information access to diagnostic images and patient notes, e-prescribing, and workflow enhancement
- Integration of other medical information that may come from specialists or other healthcare providers- and how to do it without violating HIPPA laws
- Avoiding adoption disasters
- Coding and compliance- what does this mean to us. Are we better off?
- Engaging the staff and clinicians, making this a positive experience. Everybody is unsure about change- will I lose my job? Can I do this?

| The HIPAA security regulations were designed to protect patient protected health information that is stored and/or transmitted electronically. This includes any information that can link a patient to a medical condition, test, etc. The rules and regulations not only discuss how information is stored (e.g. in a password protected computer system) but also how the computer is stored (e.g. in a locked office with an alarm on it) and transmitted (e.g. encrypted).
The CD and webinar contains information on the hows and whys of HIPAA security along with sample policies and helpful worksheets. The goal is for an IPP to be able to walk through the HIPAA security requirements and implement a program that meets the rules but also fits his/her practice.
Your registration includes the purchase of a CD and a webinar to assist you on how to use it to maximize your HIPAA plan.
