IA_BE_22 · Improved Practices that Engage Patients Pre-Visit
Subcategory: Beneficiary Engagement
Activity Description: Implementation of workflow changes that engage patients prior to the visit, such as pre-visit development of a shared visit agenda, or targeted pre-visit laboratory testing that will be resulted and available for review and discussion during the appointment.
Note: Maps well to a preoperative assessment clinic workflow.
Remember the ground rules: generally at least 90 consecutive days unless the activity specifies otherwise. For group attestation, at least 50% of the clinicians must perform the same activity, but their periods do not need to overlap. Retain documentation for six years after submission.
