Participants selected for the Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM) for heart failure (HF) will be required to collect and submit data on five MIPS quality measures – including MIPS #337: Functional Status Assessments For HF – starting Jan. 1, 2027.

• Veterans RAND Health Survey [VR-12] or [VR-36]
• Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS]-10 Global Health or [PROMIS-29]
