• January 27 – March 21
– 8 weeks to enter data
![Page 8: PQRS GPRO Submission via Web Interface - · PDF fileAugust 14 , 2014 – AMGA WebEx PQRS – GPRO Submission via Web Interface Lynette M. Wachholz, MN, ARNP, CPHQ Quality Improvement](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030412/5a9e4cc17f8b9a0d7f8cd774/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Tips for Successful PQRS Data Submission via Web Interface
• Determine staffing needs early
– 500 hours
• Including “wait time”
• Work closely with IT department to estimate when they will have completed their data “push”
– < 8 weeks for manual chart abstraction
![Page 9: PQRS GPRO Submission via Web Interface - · PDF fileAugust 14 , 2014 – AMGA WebEx PQRS – GPRO Submission via Web Interface Lynette M. Wachholz, MN, ARNP, CPHQ Quality Improvement](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030412/5a9e4cc17f8b9a0d7f8cd774/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Tips for Successful PQRS Data Submission via Web Interface
• Review individual measure specifications carefully
– Data Guidance document
– Determine/document approach prior to beginning manual chart abstraction
• Participate in CMS training and support calls
• Don’t hesitate to call the Help Desk
![Page 10: PQRS GPRO Submission via Web Interface - · PDF fileAugust 14 , 2014 – AMGA WebEx PQRS – GPRO Submission via Web Interface Lynette M. Wachholz, MN, ARNP, CPHQ Quality Improvement](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030412/5a9e4cc17f8b9a0d7f8cd774/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Tips for Successful PQRS Data Submission via Web Interface
• Train 1-2 abstractors to become “content experts” on any given measure/module
– Abstract by module rather than by patient
– Refer to Help [?] icon while working in the tool
• Inter-rater reliability
– 1st 10 records and then every 10th thereafter
![Page 11: PQRS GPRO Submission via Web Interface - · PDF fileAugust 14 , 2014 – AMGA WebEx PQRS – GPRO Submission via Web Interface Lynette M. Wachholz, MN, ARNP, CPHQ Quality Improvement](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030412/5a9e4cc17f8b9a0d7f8cd774/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Closing Thoughts / Lessons Learned • An IT resource / Coordinator is necessary for the ‘group reporting’ option.
• Planning for the submittal period is essential – develop a 7wk work plan with
the 8th week to account for the unknown.
• Establish weekly touch base meetings - to keep the cadence.
• Designate your ‘Security Officer’ and communicate their contact information to
staff in the event of systems issues (while infrequent you only have 8 weeks).
• While intimidating, it can be done!
