The National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) and the American College of Physicians (ACP) today announce that the CMS-approved ACP Genesis Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) now includes a performance measure for the treatment of heart failure in African Americans beginning with the 2017 Reporting Period for CMS’ new Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).
ACP’s Genesis Registry is a multi-specialty registry intended for use by many types of physicians including internists, internal medicine subspecialists such as cardiologists, gastroenterologists, and endocrinologists, obstetrician-gynecologists, and family medicine physicians, as well as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, to foster performance improvement and improve outcomes in the care of patients.
