Quick Start Guide Overview
MIPS participation may seem overwhelming. To break down MIPS participation and actions to take during 2025, 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 Quality Payment Program (QPP) directly. A helpful guide from the QPP is the 2025 MIPS Quick Start Guide for Small Practices.- Important Note: This information has been tailored and is intended for informational purposes only.
MIPS Eligibility
Use the QPP participation look up tool to determine if you need to report MIPS.MIPS Quality Category
Ensure MIPS eCQMs are turned on as noted in this Help Center Article for turning on eCQMs 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 (2025) - Quality Category 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 (2025) - Promoting Interoperability Category 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 (2025) - Improvement Activities Category article to support this.Additional Resources
