Quality Indicators and Registries

gGastro+ is the only EHR system which allows providers to report data from both the office and ASC to GIQuIC and the AGA Digestive Health Outcomes Registry.

Why are the Registries relevant ?

Registries like GIQuIC and the AGA Registry offer the ability to standardize data across gastroenterologists. Registries extract and collect specified data points and compare them against other practices in the specialty. Adhering to these points sets quality standards and gives physicians a benchmark for their clinical data, allowing them to prove effective patient care to both patients and insurance companies. It is expected that these indicators will affect insurance reimbursement rates in the future.

How does gGastro help with Quality reporting ?

Having an EHR like gGastro allows your practice to readily submit these reports to registries with minimal effort, thus shortening the cycle to collect incentives or avoid future penalties.
