The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced the 32 registries that have been qualified by CMS to submit quality data on behalf of their participants for the 2008 Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) registry submission option. According to CMS, each registry has gone through a vetting process, which has included investigating their capabilities, reviewing sample measure flow, and transmitting the required information in the requested file format.
