The movement from quantity-based model to quality-based model of care is a big lift for both healthcare providers and patients. TSI Healthcare, a leading provider of healthcare technologies, is moving full steam ahead to help medical practices transition toward a value-based, patient-focused model.

The ailing healthcare system is believed to be the outcome of running a fee-for-service model, a physician mode of payment that’s largely dependent on the quantity rather than quality of care. Apparently, the fee-for-service model increases healthcare cost and dissuades efforts for efficient integrated care. The Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) under the 2006 Tax Relief and Health Care Act has been established to address the disparity between the current system of paying for high volume of healthcare services and a system that’s value-based and patient-focused. With PQRI, physicians can earn federal incentives for implementing clinical quality report system as part of their workflow.

TSI Healthcare backstops the federal move with an approach that combines regulatory guidance, specialty-specific technologies, and proactive support to ensure that practices are able to improve patient care and take advantage of the initiative. The company offers NextGen® Health Quality Measures Module, a highly efficient technology that speeds up report generation and reduces the burden of data collection. The support team of TSI also keeps in contact with client practices to ensure that they are able to meet the necessary thresholds for the incentives and avoid penalties.
