Note: In order to earn a score greater than zero for the Promoting Interoperability performance category, MIPS eligible clinicians must:
- Complete the activities required by the Security Risk Analysis and High Priority PracticesSAFER Guide, submit their complete numerator and denominator or Yes/No data for all required measures, and attest to the Actions to limit or restrict compatibility or interoperability of CEHRT statement.
- Failure to report at least a “1” in all required measures with a numerator or reporting a “No” for a Yes/No response measure (except for the SAFER Guides measure2) will result in a total score of 0 points for the Promoting Interoperability performance category.

Data Validation
CMS will publish guidance to help clinicians better understand the supporting documentation they should retain when attesting to the MIPS requirements. CMS calls this guidance “MIPS Data Validation Criteria” as it outlines the types of documentation that should be retained to validate the data the provider submits to CMS at the end of the performance period. You must keep documentation for six years subsequent to submission. We suggest reviewing this validation document to ensure you document your work appropriately.
