CMS cites rising participation in PQRS program

The latest Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and Electronic Prescribing (eRx) Experience Report shows significant increases in participation in two voluntary programs. More than 430,000 professionals participated in the PQRS and more than 340,000 in the eRx programs, according to Patrick Conway, MD, CMS’ deputy administrator for innovation and quality and chief medical officer. CMS is in the beginning stages of adding this information to the Physician Compare website, which can be viewed by patients, he said.
