A measures group is composed of three to ten individual measures
and was created and approved by CMS. Measures groups cannot be changed to include or omit specific individual measures. Measures group reporting requires data entry for only 30 unique Medicare FFS patients seen in 2012. The following measures groups are available for 2012 reporting through 1stAscent
A flexible measures set (FMS) is a grouping of individual measures that require entry of 80% of corresponding Medicare FFS patients for 2012.
Flexible measures sets available for 2012 reporting through 1stAscent are detailed here, on the Measure Detail page.

For your convenience, 1stAscent offers two options for data entry: you can start entering
information and chart data directly, returning at any time to your online account
to complete the process, OR you can download and print the data entry form, record patient chart information on a hard copy, and enter the information
all at once– just be sure to complete the data entry by February 15th, 2013.
IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Participants can delegate chart abstraction and other data entry to a staff member, but must sign the online attestation statement confirming that the data entered is accurate and complete.
