Article Overview
This article explains the Advancing Care Information portion of the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and outlines the general scoring framework used to determine whether a clinician earns the full category points.

The article covers the main scoring components, the types of reporting objectives included, and the role of public health and patient information measures.
