Excellent information and explanation. Liked the online demo of how to obtain the specific and important reports, i.e. QRUR and MACRA Final Rule.

Excellent presentation. She explained very clearly. These changes do make me want to jump off a cliff trying to see patients and do all of this reporting. Very clear, detailed, great job.
