MACRA Video Training – MACRA Monday

This post is part of the MACRA Monday series of blog posts where we dive into the details of the MACRA Quality Payment Program.

I did a quick search on YouTube for the term MACRA and it found 23,300 search results. It’s not surprising to find so much MACRA content. It seems to me that healthcare has an insatiable appetite for MACRA information.

While it’s great that so many organizations are producing MACRA content, no doubt some of it is not all that valuable and a bunch of it isn’t accurate. Case in point, the first video returned in the YouTube search for MACRA was a video from eClinicalWorks (eCW). Is there anyone that would want eCW to train them on government regulations after the recent eCW settlement that revolved around their decision to not properly certify their EHR and the meaningful use program? Maybe all the information is accurate, but that’s not where I’d go to for my source of MACRA information.

If you wanted a really brief, high level overview of MACRA, I found this 2 minute cartoon video from MediSync to be a nice intro to the intent of MACRA:

If you want a much more in depth look into MACRA’s MIPS program, you’ll want to check out Answers Media’s 25 videos in their The ABCs of MIPS series:

We all know that the government MACRA website is the first place to go for really high quality MACRA information. Do you have another go to source for your MACRA information that we should know about? Let us know in the comments.
