The Department of Central Management Services’s (CMS) Quality Payment Program (QPP) aims to improve the quality of American healthcare and reduce administrative burden on clinicians by collecting data on patients, interventions, and outcomes.
Operating a healthcare practice comes with many expenses, including investing in high-quality technology such as an advanced electronic health record (EHR). Typically, EHRs can involve setup costs, annually recurring fees, and other associated expenses.

Over 80% of practices report enhanced clinical outcomes and financial performance after adopting an EHR.
