New GRID Measure Submission Method for MIPS Users

The 新澳门六合彩官网® (新澳门六合彩官网®) Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) team is initiating a simplified method to submit measures added to the General Radiology Improvement Database (GRID) in 2020 through the MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) Participation Portal. These measures include:
• 新澳门六合彩官网ad 36: Incidental Coronary Artery Calcification Reported on Chest CT
• 新澳门六合彩官网ad 37: Interpretation of CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) for Pulmonary Embolism
• 新澳门六合彩官网ad 38: Use of Low Dose Cranial CT or MRI Examinations for Patients with Ventricular Shunts
• 新澳门六合彩官网ad 39: Use of Low Dose CT Studies for Adults with Suspicion of Urolithiasis or Nephrolithiasis
• 新澳门六合彩官网ad 40: Use of Structured Reporting in Prostate MRI
• 新澳门六合彩官网ad 41: Use of Quantitative Criteria for Oncologic FDG PET Imaging
• 新澳门六合彩官网ad 42: Surveillance Imaging for Liver Nodules <10mm in Patients at Risk for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

Facilities using 新澳门六合彩官网 QCDR to participate in MIPS soon will be able to submit these GRID measures using a template similar to the Excel and Text files used for submitting MIPS measures. These files will be uploaded via the MIPS portal under the Upload Data tab and will not require GRID registration to submit. For users who prefer to continue submitting these measures through the GRID registry, this method will continue to be available as well.

The 新澳门六合彩官网 expects this new method to be live by Aug. 31. 新澳门六合彩官网 staff will notify users when the portal is ready for submission.

The 新澳门六合彩官网 will hold a webinar Aug. 26, 2–3pm ET that goes into more detail about this new simplified submission process. A recording will be available for those who are unable to join. Registration now is open for the webinar.

If you have questions about how to get started with this new submission method, email the QCDR team at nrdrsupport@acr.org.
