**What are the four domains of quality scored in the MIPS? - correct
answer ✅1. quality
2. cost efficiency
3. technology adoption
4. clinical practice improvement activities
aligned with population health care models.

in the second track of MACRA? - correct answer ✅APMs are built upon
coordinated care models in which incentives are linked to broader
outcomes, especially the total cost of care for people with specific
conditions or entire populations. Accountability for the total cost of care
requires providers to shift their frame of reference 180
degrees, from one that is centered around individual healthcare
delivery services, to one that is longitudinal regardless of whether,

a seamless high-quality care experience so

as the "stickiness" strategy—a
win under both volume and value).
-Ensure that all patients (especially Medicare beneficiaries) see their
PCP at least once per
calendar year, preferably including a preventive care visit. This is not
only good practice but also a
fully covered benefit without copay (under ACA rules).
-Ensure all physicians are listed under the correct specialty in the
payer's systems, especially
