Advancing Care Information Submission Options & Scoring
Key Terms for Understanding ACI
Base Score: to receive ACI base score points, clinicians must provide either numerator/denominator or yes/no for each measure (which is specified within measure). This accounts for half the ACI category score.
Performance Score: Beyond the 5 required measures, physicians can select measures that best fit their practice. They will then be ranked on performance for these measures. This will account for up to 90% of the ACI category score.
