The Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) is a program through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) designed to improve the quality of care to Medicare beneficiaries by tracking practice patterns.
The Audiology Quality Consortium (AQC) developed three audiology PQRS measures. By participating in PQRS, audiologists provide support for the efficacy of audiology services as part of the patient continuum of care.
