American Psychiatric Association to Fund a Registry

8/3/2016

 
Changes to health care delivery as a result of the Affordable Care Act will require improvement in quality of care, while at the same time reducing costs. With an increasing national focus on quality and cost, the opportunity to leverage clinical registries to improve outcomes and appropriate utilization has never been greater. The AMA believes that the establishment of a registry will assist members in meeting these new requirements and is an investment for the future of the profession of psychiatry.
 
Establishing a registry will also help members comply with Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) & Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) requirements and avoid penalties, which began in 2016 (2%) and will increase to 9% in 2022. A registry would also allow members to submit performance and practice data from the registry for Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Part IV credit.  A registry will provide a national research data base with aggregate de-identified data to help improve patient outcomes, develop new diagnostics and therapeutics, develop practice guidelines, identify gaps in care and inform APA educational programs, and support advocacy initiatives.  It will also allow the APA to develop new psychiatric quality measures (with funding from CMS until 2019).
