MIPS 2023 Reporting Update	The MIPS Dashboard is now ready for 2023 reporting. There are some important steps your practice needs to follow in order to participate in the MIPS Promoting Operability 2023 performance period. You can review that information here. The following modifications were made to the MIPS Dashboard for 2023 Reporting: All Measures - Scoring, Exclusion and Measurements we updated, as appropriate, to reflect the CMS Promoting Interoperability verbiage for 2023 reporting. Query of the PDMP Measure: This measure is now a required measure for 2023 reporting. Provide Patients Electronic Access to their Health Information Automated Measure: Signing a visit note will now send a CCDA file (for practices configured with the FHIR API's) to the FHIR APIs. Once the CCDA is received by the FHIR API, the patient will receive an invitation with instructions on how to access their data using the FHIR API's. Updated the measure numerator logic to now require providing both OnPatient Portal Invitations (sent via the OnPatient Access Screen) AND FHIR Welcome Emails sent to the patient for each visit in order to meet the numerator. Enabling Exchange Under TEFCA Measure: Added the ability for Eligible Clinicians to attest to meeting the requirements of this measure.	MIPS Reporting
