Submission Dashboard

athenaClinicals

The Submission Dashboard enables ACO entities who submitted data for the entire ACO through athenaOne to track the submission status for the MSSP ACO quality programs. Submission tracking is also visible for MIPS Value Pathways (MVP) participants. On this dashboard, ACO entities can download MSSP program data as QRDA III and JSON files for submission to CMS.

 

On the Main Menu, click Quality > Submission Dashboard.

 

 

 

To access the Submission Dashboard, you must have the Quality Manager role.

athenaOne Network Average

 

The Submission Report for the ACO-Medicare Shared Savings Program includes a column displaying the average measure performance within the athenaOne network. The athenaOne network average captures the average performance of all unique Organization and ACO Entity ID combinations across the athenaOne network. This column allows you to see how your organization is performing on the measure compared to this average.

 

Here's a look at the report with the athenaOne Network Average column and results:

 

 

  1. Display the Submission Dashboard: On the Main Menu, click Quality > Submission Dashboard.
  2. On the left side of the Submission Dashboard, click the name of the quality program whose data you want to view.

    The Submission Status table shows information for the program you selected.
  3. Click any row in the table to expand it and see the TINs, NPIs, and clinicians included in the APM entity identifier.

    Note: APM Entity Identifiers are unique identification numbers assigned by CMS to the ACO Entity that signed an agreement directly with CMS to represent the ACO.

  1. To see performance data at the program level (that is, not specific to an APM entity ID), click the Performance Data icon at the top of the Submission Status table.

    The eCQM Data page opens and displays the measure performance data for the selected program. (On the eCQM Data page, the quality program is already selected in the Programs filter field.)
  2. To see performance data at the APM entity ID level, click the Performance Data icon in the APM Entity Identifier row.

    The eCQM Data page opens and displays the measure performance data specific to the APM entity.

 

 

The submission report is viewable throughout the performance year, unless the entity is not enrolled in all required measures. The submission artifacts, i.e. JSO/QRDA3, are available only when the status is "Export Ready".

 

Note: If your practice is an ACO participant and the ACO is requesting QRDA-I files, you can use the eCQM Data page to export QRDA-I files that contain the necessary patient level data (see To export QRDA I or QRDA III files).

 

ACO Participants will provide data to ACO Entities via QRDA-I files from the eCQM Data report and in turn, ACO Entities will submit the data to CMS.

  1. For ACO MSSP programs, the default submission method is manual (Self Submission). However, if you are an ACO entity, you can request that athenahealth automatically submit your data. Create a support case: Open the Success Community and click Contact Client Support Center in the Support Cases tile, then follow the guided creation workflow.

    Important: The deadline to make a decision about auto submission versus self submission for the ACO MSSP program is by January 14 of each reporting year.

  2. Go to the Submission Dashboard: On the Main Menu, click Quality > Submission Dashboard.
  3. Select your program from the left side of left side of the Submission Dashboard. The Submission Status table shows information for the program you selected.
  4. Click any row in the table to expand it and see the TINs, NPIs, and clinicians included in the entity identifier.
  5. Click the Submission Report icon to display page 2 of the report.
    The Submission Report page shows you the aggregated performance data for the program entity — the ACO MSSP entity ID.
  6. Click any measure row in the report to expand it and see the detailed data for the measure.
  7. When the submission window opens for the quality program (generally after January 15), you can download the files that you need to submit to CMS.
    • For eCQM artifacts, click the Download QRDA III link.
    • For CQM artifacts, click the Download JSON link.

  1. Display the Submission Dashboard: On the Main Menu, click Quality > Submission Dashboard.

  2. Select MIPS Value Pathways and the appropriate MVP Group or MVP Individual tile.

  3. Review the category columns (Quality Status, IA Status, or PI Status) to see your MVP submission status.

 

 

The Submission Dashboard enables you to track submissions for these quality programs:

Providers and quality managers access the Submission Dashboard as follows:

On the Main Menu, click Quality > Submission Dashboard.

 

At the top of the Submission Dashboard, you see a tile for each program you're enrolled in. The fraction below the program name indicates the number of reports that are ready for submission (the numerator) over the total number of enrollments (e.g., ACO entity IDs) in each program (the denominator).

The list on the left side of the Submission Dashboard lists the quality programs. Click the program name in the list to display the dashboard for your program.

 

The Submission Status table shows the status and details of participants in the quality program. Click a column heading to re-sort the list of items.

 

 

The default submission method for ACO MSSP program is manual (Self Submission). However, if you are an ACO entity, and all participating clinicians are using athenaClinicals under the same practice ID, you can request that athenahealth automatically submit your data (from athenaOne > Support > Success Community > Contact Client Support Center).

Important: For the ACO MSSP program, the deadline to make a decision about auto submission versus self submission is by January 14 of each reporting year.

 

 

The state of your data is shown in the Status column in the Submission Status table.
