Healthcare Has Changed.
It’s no longer about how many patients you see or how many procedures you perform.
What matters most are outcomes.
Are your patients getting better? Are you coordinating care effectively? Are you helping them avoid complications and readmissions? That’s the heart of value-based care—and it’s now the standard.
What’s at Stake for Your Practice
Ignoring compliance isn’t just a paperwork issue—it’s financial.
Missing benchmarks can reduce your Medicare payments by up to 9%. On the flip side, meeting requirements can increase your reimbursements.
Why Cardiologists Feel the Burden
You’re already balancing patient care, complex documentation, and staff management.
Now add MIPS & MACRA tracking, reporting, and audits into the mix, and it’s no surprise many practices feel overwhelmed.
This is exactly why the right specialty EHR makes all the difference.
Key MIPS Categories Your Practice Must Track
Quality
Track measures like heart failure, cholesterol, AFib.
Interoperability
Portals, secure messaging, e-prescribing.
Improvement Activities
Patient education, care coordination, remote monitoring.
Cost
CMS-calculated via claims, but influenced by care decisions.
How GEMMS ONE EHR Supports MIPS & MACRA Compliance
Unlike generic systems, GEMMS ONE EHR is purpose-built for cardiology.
Its workflows, reports, and tools are aligned with the daily realities of your specialty, making MIPS and MACRA compliance more intuitive and less burdensome.
Automated Quality Measure Capture
GEMMS ONE seamlessly captures quality measures within your existing clinical workflows. For example, blood pressure monitoring, medication adherence, and hospital follow-up care are automatically tracked as you document patient visits.
This real-time data collection eliminates the need for manual data entry, resulting in faster and more accurate reporting.
Seamless Interoperability and Reporting
Built-in interoperability tools make it easy to exchange data, generate reports, and submit directly to CMS.
The system includes registry integration, performance scoring dashboards, and direct export capabilities—all designed to help you stay on top of your compliance goals with minimal disruption to your team.
Cardiology-Specific Improvement Activities
GEMMS ONE comes preloaded with templates for CMS-recognized improvement activities, from patient education to remote device monitoring and post-discharge care coordination.
These tools not only support compliance—they also enhance patient outcomes and engagement, which ultimately benefits your practice overall.
Advanced Analytics and Dashboards
The platform includes real-time dashboards that display your current MIPS scoring and highlight any gaps.
With the ability to generate custom reports, you can continuously monitor progress, adjust workflows, and meet submission deadlines without the last-minute scramble.
What Happens If You Don't Comply?
- Up to 9% penalty on Medicare payments
- Lost incentives & reduced reimbursements
- Competitive disadvantage vs peers with specialty EHRs
Tips for Cardiologists to Improve Their MIPS Scores
- Staying compliant requires intention, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming.
- Start by assigning a MIPS champion, someone in your practice who tracks updates, coordinates reporting tasks, and ensures deadlines are met.
- Regularly checking your EHR's dashboards (weekly or monthly) helps you stay aware of your current performance metrics and quickly address any gaps that may arise.
- Staff training is another key area. Ensuring your team understands how to use documentation tools effectively from implementation means cleaner records and fewer reporting errors.
- Internal audits before submission deadlines can also help you identify areas of improvement and avoid costly mistakes.
- For more guidance on optimizing your technology, learn how to transition from a generic EHR to a cardiology-specific platform.
