Promoting Interoperability is not a new MIPS performance category. It is just a new name for the Advancing Care Information Category which replaced EHR Meaningful Use under MIPS.
The 2018 requirements for Promoting Interoperability are the same as the 2018 Advancing Care Information category. Key highlights include:
- Worth 25% of your Final MIPS Score
- 90 day reporting period
- 2 measure set options based on 2014 or 2015 certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) edition
- Exclusions in place for e-prescribing and Health Information Exchange (HIE)
- Automatic reweighting for special status clinicians
New for 2018:
- New hardship exclusion for small practices (application required)
- 10% bonus for using only a 2015 certified EHR
CMS published a Fact Sheet for the Promoting Interoperability Category: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Payment-Program/Resource-Library/2018-Promoting-Interoperability-Fact-Sheet.pdf
