QCDR Status Approved for GIQuIC Registry for 2025

QCDR: Qualified Clinical Data Registry for MIPS

ACG and ASGE are pleased to announce that the GIQuIC Registry has once again been approved as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) for reporting to the Merit‐based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for the 2025 reporting year.

The QCDR reporting mechanism is a dynamic option that allows providers to report to traditional MIPS and the Gastroenterology Care MIPS Value Pathway (MVP). 

“Being an approved QCDR is a benefit for our users because it gives them the ability to report on Quality Payment Program and QCDR measures that are meaningful to their specialty practice,” said Dr. Colleen Schmitt, who was recently elected President of the GIQuIC Board of Directors. 

“Utilizing the GIQuIC registry for reporting to CMS also provides participants with performance feedback throughout the year, providing individual clinicians and groups with the real-time feedback needed to improve performance and by extension their scores. Further, support from the GIQuIC staff allows physicians and their teams to efficiently navigate the reporting process,” she added. 

The 2025 GIQuIC QCDR is approved to report for individual eligible providers, groups, subgroups, and virtual groups to the Quality, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities performance categories.

About Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
Gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures allow the gastroenterologist to visually inspect the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach and duodenum) and the lower bowel (colon and rectum) through an endoscope, a thin, flexible device with a lighted end and a powerful lens system. Endoscopy has been a major advance in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. For example, the use of endoscopes allows the detection of ulcers, cancers, polyps and sites of internal bleeding. Through endoscopy, tissue samples (biopsies) may be obtained, areas of blockage can be opened and active bleeding can be stopped. Polyps in the colon can be removed, which has been shown to prevent colon cancer.

About the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
Since its founding in 1941, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) has been dedicated to advancing patient care and digestive health by promoting excellence and innovation in gastrointestinal endoscopy. ASGE, with almost 16,000 members worldwide, promotes the highest standards for endoscopic training and practice, fosters endoscopic research, recognizes distinguished contributions to endoscopy, and is the foremost resource for endoscopic education.
