Physician Quality Reporting System

The Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) is a program by the U.S. government that encourages healthcare providers to report on specific quality measures, such as patient outcomes and care processes. By participating, physicians can demonstrate the quality of care they provide, which can influence reimbursement and support overall healthcare improvement. The system aims to promote transparency, accountability, and high standards in medical practice, ultimately leading to better patient health and safety.
