SPH Analytics announced approval from the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services to administer the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems for the Physician Quality Reporting System survey. It also can submit PQRS Registry measures to CMS as a qualified reporting vendor.

PQRS is a quality measurement reporting program managed by CMS. Healthcare providers working with SPH Analytics can conduct the CAHPS for PQRS Survey and to participate in the 2015 PQRS Registry data submission.

“We partner with providers to manage the data collection and submission process so they can focus on providing optimal care to their patients,” said Al Vega, CEO of SPH Analytics. “In addition, SPH Analytics will soon be offering a Quality Measures analytics solution that will enable health systems and large medical practices to monitor individual physician and group performance in real time.”

SPH Analytics, which is based in Georgia, was created through the merger of Voyance, MDdatacor, Archimedes Clinical Analytics, and The Myers Group.
