JULY EDITION, VOLUME 2017, NO. 7
2017 CMS FAMILY NIGHT By Shannon Boyle, CMS Communications and Events Coordinator
This year’s Family Night was fun for all ages! More than 50 doctors and their families attended the event on May 24th at the FSU Champions Club. Guests enjoyed choosing from the various food stations - hotdogs, tacos, paninis, pasta, cookies, and ice cream sundaes. There were two photo booths and cornhole games along with fun activities at each of the sponsor tables and a balloon artist (provided by Hien Guyer and Amy Pagano). Our sponsors had tons of giveaways/drawings for the kids and adults. Betsy Barfield was on hand to capture candid photos throughout the evening (provided by Hancock Bank). We had a few inkind donations: Dr. Rohan Joseph donated two footballs autographed by Jimbo Fisher, one basketball autographed by Leonard Hamilton, and one baseball autographed by Mike Martin; Seminole Sportshop donated one football autographed by Bobby Bowden; and my parents, Mark and Debbie Dent donated a “Chillin’ with Snow Cones” basket. We thank all of our supporters for going above and beyond to make this event extra fun and memorable! We had special guest appearances from several FSU coaches - FSU
Men’s Basketball Head Coach, Leonard Hamilton; FSU Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach, Dennis Gates; FSU Women’s Soccer Head Coach, Mark Krikorian; FSU Women’s Volleyball Head Coach, Chris Poole; and FSU Women’s Volleyball Assistant Coach/former All-American, Jordana Price. We really appreciate these coaches taking time to visit with our guests. A big thank you to Ida Thompson, CMS Alliance President for securing the coaches to attend our event! Our main event of the night was the guided tour of the Athletics Center and Indoor Practice Facility. Derrick
(L-r) Mark Krikorian, FSU Women’s Soccer Head Coach; Jordana Price, FSU Women’s Volleyball Assistant Coach; Emma Bryson; Chris Poole, FSU Women’s Volleyball Head Coach; Dr. Tracey Hellgren, CMS President; Leonard Hamilton, FSU Men’s Basketball Head Coach; Hannah Bryson; and Dennis Gates, FSU Men’s Basketball Assistant Coach.
Coles with the FSU Athletics Department led the tour and made stops at the football projection room, players’ lounge, locker room, weight room, training room, sod cemetery, and indoor practice facility. We really appreciate Mr. Coles serving as our tour guide for the evening and making it both fun and informative.

REAL CUSTOMERS. REAL ISSUES. REAL SOLUTIONS. We have been strategic partners with Electronet Broadband Communications for a number of years. Electronet provided our office with Internet access first, OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY
and we later added voice and other services that were offered as part of their business bundle solution. We have a very busy practice and our phones and
Internet are mission critical to us and our patients. We have been very pleased with not only the performance of Electronet services but the attentiveness and professionalism of their staff.

MACRA Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint: How to Get Started Now By Robin Diamond, MSN, JD, RN, Senior Vice President of Patient Safety and Risk Management, The Doctors Company
In January 2017, the beginning of the first performance reporting period for the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), only 19 percent of physicians reported that they were very or somewhat familiar with MACRA. Physicians and practice managers may feel as if they’re being left at the starting line, but there is still time to get in the MACRA race. On your mark… 1. Assemble a team. A team is vital to tackle MACRA data collection, data analysis, and submission. Team members should come from various roles in the practice and brainstorm strategies to incorporate metrics into existing workflow and optimize the workflow to include data collection. Get set… 2. Decide whether to report as a group or individual. An individual is defined as a single National Provider Identifier (NPI) tied to a single Tax Identification Number (TIN). A group is defined as a set of clinicians (identified by their NPIs) sharing a common TIN,
regardless of their specialty or practice site. Know the criteria, advantages, and disadvantages of reporting in each category—the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website (https:// qpp.cms.gov/ learn/getprepared) is a helpful resource. 3. Pick your pace. Practices have four options to choose from and can participate as much, or as little, as they choose. It is points-driven: The more participation, the more points earned. The goal is to exceed 70 percent in the composite score to be considered for a bonus. The composite score is composed of Quality + Advancing Care Information + Improvement Activities. Understand your participation options (http:// journal.ahima.org/2016/11/07/macrastrategies-for-2017-advantages-anddisadvantages-of-four-options/). 4. Select measures and submission methods. Choose measures that best fit your practice (https://qpp.cms. gov/measures/quality). Understand that not all of the measures are equal in value. Under the quality category, one measure could earn as many as 10 points. Take time to review your options (https://qpp.cms.gov/ measures/performance). 5. Review and improve. Evaluate past performance (http://www.aafp. org/fpm/2015/1100/p19.html) in
14 CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION
the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), which now becomes the Quality Measures and will have the greatest weight (60 percent of the composite score). Review past performance in the Meaningful Use (MU) measures. MU now becomes Advancing Care Information (ACI) and will require greater participation than in the past. A new performance category for 2017 is the Improvement Activities (IA) (https://qpp.cms.gov/ measures/ia). Most groups will attest to completing four activities. Small groups with less than 15 physicians will attest to two activities. These activities focus on patient safety, care coordination, and engagement. Go… 6. Start now. If you’re not reporting yet, there is still time to start before October 2, 2017—and the earlier the better. Reporting a single measure will avoid a negative adjustment in 2019. At least 90 consecutive days of data is required to be considered for a positive upward or neutral adjustment. What is done this year will reflect in the 2019 public reporting and pay-forperformance. Delaying participation may make next year more challenging. For more information, go to the Medical Advantage Group website (https://www. medicaladvantagegroup.com/) or contact The Doctors Company Patient Safety Department at patientsafety@thedoctors.com.

ACCESS TO CARE AWARD
STACI BIEGNER AND HENRY HUSON RECEIVE CMS FOUNDATION’S 2017 ACCESS TO CARE AWARD, IN HONOR OF ROBIN MCDOUGALL Dr. Christie Alexander presented the awards at the FSU College of Medicine’s Award Ceremony on May 19, 2017 and below are her comments on each recipient. The first student’s nominator describes this student as a “powerhouse of passion for social justice, for the underserved, for bridging gaps in access and righting the wrongs of inequality.” She rose as President of FSUCares, FSU COM’s student organization devoted to helping the underserved and underprivileged populations both locally and internationally. She, along with the presidents of two other student organizations, helped create the Healing Hands Benefit, raising $8,500 to support serving learning projects in Immokalee, Panama, and Nicaragua. As the Treasurer for the FSU COM’s Chapters of the American Medical Association and Florida Medical Association, she led fundraising efforts and attended two of their national meetings to better learn the intricacies of healthcare policy and how to improve access challenges.
The second student nominated for this year’s Access to Care Award is a humble giant – working hard in silence, out of the limelight, to the benefit of others. During his first two years of medical school, he volunteered with the Chapman Community Health Program and helped organize and fundraise for the Healing Hands Benefit that I mentioned earlier. He was also the Treasurer of the Medical Student Council, presiding over 29 Registered Student Organizations and maintaining a budget of over $50,000 – a budget that was uncut for the first time in three years thanks to his hard work defending it to FSU Main Campus’ Congress of Graduate Students.
As a third and fourth year medical student, he volunteered at multiple service events, including the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk and the We Care Clinic Mardi Gras Fundraiser. He also spearheaded a sock and toothbrush drive, providing needed supplies for impoverished children within the local community and led two fundraising events for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, raising over $2,500 each time. And in addition to this – when one of the staff members at his regional campus died unexpectedly leaving behind his wife and 11-year old son, he led a fundraising campaign which raised $2,000 to help the family. He is a dedicated leader, and it is my honor to present this year’s second Access to Care Award to Henry Huson.
And if that wasn’t enough, she is also one of the founders of the Chapman Community Health Program, attending every planning meeting and every event to help ensure the success of the program. She was also just inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society, which honors medical students, residents, role-model physician teachers, and other exemplars for demonstrated excellence in clinical care, leadership, compassion, and dedication to service. For all of these reasons and more, it is my great pleasure to present our first Access to Care Award to Staci Biegner.

CMS FOUNDATION
The Impact of Private Support: Capital Medical Society Foundation’s community of donors strategically help fulfill its mission “to support the charitable efforts of physicians and others, increase access to healthcare, promote education and serve the community’s health needs through innovative projects that are exemplary, affordable and dignified.” • Access to healthcare is increased through gifts to We Care Network and the We Care Network Endowment Fund. More than $80 million in donated specialty medical and dental care has been provided to low income, uninsured patients since the program was created in 1992. In fiscal year 2016-17, which ended June 30, 2017, more than $8.2 million in health care was donated. Gifts support the salaries and benefits of the case management team who coordinate donated care.
Donate to the CMS Foundation – We Thank Our Donors
• To provide incentives to keep medical students trained at FSU College of Medicine in the Big Bend after completion of their residencies and help meet the growing demand for physicians in Florida, gifts to the Scholarship Fund provide scholarships to FSU College of Medicine students who have expressed an interest in returning to the Big Bend to practice after completion of their residencies. $47,000 was distributed to eight medical students in 2016.
We thank the following people/ organizations who made a donation to the CMS Foundation this past month:
• Gifts to Capital Medical Society Foundation help provide operation resources for Capital Medical Society Foundation. In 2015-16, funds were used for a roof repair, purchase of a computer firewall upgrade, rental unit maintenance, exterior painting, and office renovations to accommodate additional staff. In addition, modest grants to area nonprofits whose programs improve access to health care for the underserved. In 2017, CMSF awarded $10,000 in grants to Elder Care for their In-Home Services Program and to CMSF’s Physician Wellness Program set to launch in FY 2017-18.
