# MIPS (2024)- Quick Start Guide
> This article is a quick reference guide for everything you need to know about the MIPS 2024 Reporting Period.
This Help Center Article is no longer relevant for the current calendar year. This Help Center Article is retained in the event of an audit for fidelity of information to align with changes over time and so we keep this article hosted. If you are looking for current calendar year information please ensure the calendar year is included in the title of the Help Center Article.
## Quick Start Guide Overview
MIPS participation may seem overwhelming. To break down MIPS participation and actions to take during 2024, here is the guide to follow along all the resources Elation Health offers for MIPS eligible clinicians. This information is intended as support for your practice to participate in MIPS using Elation. For questions specific to MIPS and regulatory requirements, contact the QPP directly.
A helpful guide from the QPP is the [2024 MIPS Quick Start Guide for Small Practices](https://qpp-cm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2622/2024MIPSGuideforSmallPractices.pdf). This information has been tailored and is intended for informational purposes only.
## MIPS Eligibility
Use the [QPP participation look up tool](https://qpp.cms.gov/participation-lookup) to determine if you need to report MIPS.
You can also reference the [MIPS Eligibility- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)](/articles/MIPS-Eligibility-FAQ) Help Center Article or the [QPP MIPS Eligibility & Participation Quick Start Guide](https://qpp-cm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2623/2024MIPSEligibandParticGuide.pdf).
## MIPS Quality Category
Ensure MIPS eCQMs are turned on ([link to article](/articles/clinical-reminders-for-clinical-quality-measures)) and that you are tracking eCQMs as best possible. Follow workflows to close care gaps. Create a performance improvement plan to determine what needs to be tracked better over time.
Understand and determine your reporting type and collection type. Review the [MIPS (2024)- Quality Category](/articles/Quality-Category-MIPS-2024) article to support this.
## MIPS Promoting Interoperability
Does your practice have greater than 15 providers in it? If not, do nothing, you do not need to report to this category.
If your practice has greater than 15 providers and plans to report the PI category, ensure you can participate by reviewing the [MIPS (2024)- Promoting Interoperability Category](/articles/Promoting-Interoperability-MIPS-2024) article, checking all your integrations, and reviewing workflows for the associated measures.
**Important Note**: If you are reporting on the Promoting Interoperability Category, make sure you submit your intent to submit data to your local Public Health Agency and reach out to Elation Health so we can assist in understanding the integration.
## MIPS Improvement Activities
Look at the Improvement Activities list and determine which Improvement Activities are most relevant to your practice. Review the [MIPS (2024)- Improvement Activities Category](/articles/Improvement-Activities-MIPS-2024) article to support this.
