This demonstration will provide a walk-through of the QCDR and Qualified Registry self-nomination forms available on the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website as well as the QCDR Measure Submission Form for those submitting QCDR measures.  What are QCDRs and Qualified Registries? QCDRs and Qualified Registries are CMS-approved third party intermediaries that collect clinical data on behalf of clinicians for data submission. Only intermediaries wishing to become (and who meet the requirements of) a QCDR and/or Qualified Registry need to complete the self-nomination form. You should attend the webinar if your organization plans to self-nominate as a 2024 QCDR or Qualified Registry. Participation in this demonstration is optional. MIPS eligible clinicians that want to report for the 2024 performance year of MIPS via a Qualified Registry or QCDR reporting mechanism don't need to self-nominate.
