In performance year (PY) 2022, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requiring Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians to attest to whether or not they have completed their self-assessment for the High Priority Practices Safety Assurance Factors for EHR Resilience (SAFER) Guides measure.
The SAFER Guides enable healthcare organizations to address electronic health record safety in a variety of areas.
At A Glance: 2022 MIPS SAFER Guide Requirements:
For 2022, MIPS eligible clinicians are required to attest “yes” or “no” to completing an annual self-assessment using only the High Priority Practices guide to satisfy the requirement.
Attesting “yes” signifies a participant has completed the annual self-assessment.
Attesting “no” signifies a participant has not completed the annual self-assessment.
For the 2022 and 2023 performance years, both answers are acceptable. However, leaving the SAFER Guides measure submission blank (e.g., N/A) will result in a score of 0.
