Frequently Asked Questions

Developed by ACEP, the Clinical Emergency Data Registry (CEDR) is the first Emergency Medicine specialty-wide registry to measure acute care quality, outcomes, practice patterns, and trends in emergency care. The CEDR registry ensures that emergency physicians, rather than other parties, are identifying what practices work best for them.

For the 2021 performance period

• The weight of the Quality performance category is 40% of your MIPS final score.
• Quality measures that can be scored against a benchmark will receive between 3 and 10 points as measure achievement points.
• Quality measures that are not benchmarked by CMS, or do not meet the case minimum (e.g., a denominator of 20), will receive 3 points if data completes is ≥ 70% and if all payers for the reporting period are captured.
