Future of the MIPS Program: CMS Session at #HIMSS16

himss16-logo-200Are you a health care provider or hospital administrator who is attending the HIMSS Annual Conference? The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is eager to learn from you about your thoughts on the future of the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) program. Please join CMS program leaders for one of three Design Lean Planning Sessions (more details provided below) during this year’s HIMSS Annual Conference in Las Vegas (February 29-March 4). These sessions will create an opportunity for providers and practice administrators, managers, and data analysts to contribute valuable feedback and help inform the future design of the MIPS program.

Event Purpose
Use of Human Centered Design and Lean theories (Design Lean) in the MIPS operational development process will help streamline multiple programs within the MIPS program. This process allows CMS to proactively engage stakeholders and users; collect feedback before the system is designed; and potentially prevent future challenges.

CMS will host three one-hour Design Lean Planning Sessions during this year’s conference. Space is very limited; please email CMSeHealthTeam@ketchum.com with the session of your choice, as well as your Name, Title, Role (e.g, provider, etc.), and Organization to register.

When:

  • Tuesday, March 1: 2:30-3:30pm PST
  • Wednesday, March 2: 2:30-3:30pm PST
  • Thursday, March 3: 11:30am-12:30pm PST

Where: CMS Meeting Room, Venetian Level 4, Zeno 4603 (floorplan)
