report; via Claim based or Registry Based.
3. If the chosen method of the report is qualified registry based, determine which measure reporting option (Individual or Group) best fits your
practice. If the chosen method of the report is claim based then you will be able to report only individual measures and not measure groups.

* Patient Safety * Person and Caregiver-Centered Experience and outcomes * Communication and Care
Coordination
