American College of Emergency PhysiciansWhat is CEDR?
Developed by ACEP, the Clinical Emergency Data Registry (CEDR) is the first Emergency Medicine specialty-wide registry to measure acute care quality, outcomes, practice patterns, and trends in emergency care. The CEDR registry ensures that emergency physicians, rather than other parties, are identifying what practices work best for them.

- MACRA/MIPS compliance.
- Establish national benchmarks for EM-specific quality measures.
- Assists you with easily fulfilling ABEM MOC Part IV (American Board of Emergency Medicine Maintenance of Certification) requirements.
- Facilitate appropriate emergency care research.
- Present/Future - Quality reporting is data driven

How are the performance categories scored?
What is Quality Performance Category Scoring?
For the 2021 performance period
- The weight of the Quality performance category is 40% of your MIPS final score.
- Quality measures that can be scored against a benchmark will receive between 3 and 10 points as measure achievement points.
- Quality measures that are not benchmarked by CMS, or do not meet the case minimum (e.g., a denominator of 20), will receive 3 points if data completes is ≥ 70% and if all payers for the reporting period are captured.
What does the onboarding and implementation process for CEDR look like?

- Once contacted by a CEDR Specialist, an onboarding form will be sent to gather additional preliminary information.
- Initiate the Contracting Process (this includes a Business Agreement, Clinical Participation Agreement, Billing Vendor Agreement and/or Hospital Contract Agreement).

- Review sample data and provide feedback.
- Run Query on Quality Payment Program Measures for extracted data.
- Dashboard delivery and review.
- Ongoing refresh and review of dashboard enhancements.
What is the cost of CEDR participation?
- A standard data processing fee is applied based on the annual visits for each ED.
- Annual Clinician Fee is incurred for each participating clinician (including advanced practice/ midlevel clinicians). This fee is waived if a clinician is or becomes an ACEP member, a clinician group qualifies for 100% club membership, or if advanced practice/midlevel clinicians are members of associated organizations for advanced practice/midlevel providers.
