QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

The AQUA Registry dashboard identifies low-performing clinical areas in need of quality improvement. By examining contributing factors to these areas, an action plan for correction can be implemented and evaluated throughout the year.

NATIONAL BENCHMARKING

Standard performance reports through the AQUA Registry dashboard allow you to:

• Review performance scores against peers at the physician level.
• Identify low-performance areas for improvement.

UROLOGY-SPECIFIC MEASURES

AUA-generated performance measures benchmark compliance with clinical practice guidelines for treating patients with urologic diseases. By selecting urology-specific measures, providers can report on in areas that are relevant to the urology specialty. Prostate cancer, bladder cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urinary stones, are some of the conditions covered by the AUA measures.

MERIT-BASED INCENTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEM (MIPS) REPORTING TO CMS

As a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR), the AQUA Registry is your one-stop shop to streamline the MIPS reporting process to CMS:

• Report on both urology-relevant and general CMS-approved Quality Payment Program measures.
• Identify a set of measures with the highest performance scores.
• Offer attestation modules to satisfy the requirements in the Promoting Interoperability (PI).

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

By utilizing the AQUA Registry dashboard and reporting tools, eligible urologists can receive Practice Assessment Protocol (PAP) credit for the Life Long Learning Program (formerly MOC) made available through the American Board of Urology (ABU).
