- Before administering the survey to your patients, take a “test” survey for yourself (the clinician) to gain familiarity with what your patients will experience and the location of the scoring results that will appear for your MIPS usage on the last page after each patient completes the patient-facing questions.
- Each time your patient completes the survey, be sure to record the date of survey completion, the Functional Status Score, and the Predicted FS Change This will allow you to calculate the Residual Score as described in the Numerator of the measure specification.
