The National Health Care Surveys Registry, Promoting Interoperability and the Merit-based Incentive Payment System

The National Health Care Surveys are working together with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs: Promoting Interoperability (PI), and the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). All Eligible Clinicians (EC), Eligible Professionals (EP), Eligible Hospitals (EH), and Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) can register their intent to submit data to the National Center for Health Statistics. Registration is free of charge. National Health Care Surveys (NCHS) Registry registrants can attest to meeting one of the public health reporting measures of PI or MIPS. The Registry also allows any interested providers or provider organizations to register their intent to participate as well.

Those participating in one or more of the CMS EHR Incentive Programs are immediately in active engagement with the NCHS upon registration with the National Health Care Surveys Registry.
