Our QCDR Process

Instructions - Generate patient info file:

All applications print, including your billing applications and practice management software. 

To simplify the process of gathering electronic medical information, you can leverage the print process by following these steps:

Notes:
a. It is suggested to do this process when office is closed.
b. These instructions assume you are using a Windows based system.

1. Configure a 'PQRS' printer. Details here.

2. Start your application that has the applicable patient information
    (typically this is your billing software, practice management software, or EHR)  (Note: If the software is active: close & restart it)

3. Use your software to print documents that you need to electronically send.
For trial run: Reprint out a Medicare invoice (or CMS-1500 form) for a any Medicare patient
You may need to contact your software vendor (web site or phone) to find the instructions on how to print out a report.  (If you can't find info, google softwarevendornamehere "print report")

4. When you get to your application's 'print screen', make sure you choose 'PQRS printer'

If your application does not ask you which printer to use, you will have to configure it.  Consult instruction manual for that software.

5. A screen will ask you to for the print filename.  Type in a filename that is unique, such as PQRSDATA1

6. Click next. 

-------------------------------

Trial run #2 - Repeat steps 2-6, printing out a report for ALL YTD Medicare invoices / CMS-1500 forms.  On step 6, it will be a large report to print, it will take a while (30 minutes). Grab a cup of coffee!
