Is the ACR prepared to advocate on federal quality-related legislation?
The ACR’s Government Affairs Committee is working with both Congress and CMS during the development and implementation of QPIs. The Government Affairs Committee is also actively engaging with other organizations that have a vested interest in the quality movement, including the AMA, American College of Physicians and the Arthritis Foundation, to monitor and respond to quality-related legislation. The ACR is prepared to act aggressively to influence proposed quality and pay-for-performance legislation that affects rheumatologists and their patients.
