Government Program Reporting
The AQUA Registry meets Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements for quality reporting and has the potential to eliminate government-imposed financial penalties under the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). The AQUA Registry helps urologic practices submit performance measures to CMS and other payers with the highest performance measures through our system optimization.
National Benchmarking and Quality Improvement
AQUA Registry participants can benchmark their performance scores against aggregated scores at national and registry levels. The interactive dashboard allows participants to identify low-performance areas to help guide quality improvement activities.
Whether you’re a solo practitioner or a member of an academic medical center, the AQUA Registry offers analytic tools to assist in achieving the quality improvement goals for your practice and patients.
Credit Toward ABU's Continuing Urology Certification
AQUA Registry participants who actively utilize quality measures, to benchmark their performance, via the interactive dashboard—and who leverage these insights to drive meaningful improvements in care—are eligible to receive Quality Improvement (QI) Attestation credit toward the Continuing Urology Certification (CUC) Program, as recognized by the American Board of Urology (ABU).
Research & Clinical Trial Opportunities
As a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) with national coverage of patients with urologic diseases, data collected through the AQUA Registry can fuel health services and policy research. AQUA Registry data have the potential to support basic science and translational research to help fill current knowledge gaps. All data used in published reports or articles are de-identified at aggregated levels. Additionally, AQUA Registry participants have access to Verana Trial Connect technology to seamlessly connect patients to clinical trials based on inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Privacy Policy
Identifiable patient information collected by the AQUA Registry is stored on a secure Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant cloud server. Each practice and provider will have access to a private report showing their performance with benchmarking comparisons against national and registry statistics.
