“January momentum compounds. Every clean closure you document in the first quarter pays dividends in December—for your patients and for your clinic’s stability.” Dr. Andres Jimenez, Double-Board-Certified in Public Health & Prevention and Clinical Informatics, Founder of HealthPrevent360
The measure year starts January 1, 2026. Launching your close-gap engine then gives you a full runway for quality math. Start late and you’ll spend spring catching up.
The 30-day plan (refresher)
Week 1: Map measures and leaks. Standardize definitions; identify top leak points (uncoded screenings, missing externals, BP mismatches).
Week 2: Build queues and evidence. Define packet contents and where the proof lives; turn on exception reports.
Week 3: Ingest, validate, attach. Use CommonWell/Carequality/TEFCA rails; AI-parse; MD-validate.
Week 4: Scorecards and tuning. Track close-rates, evidence latency, and rework avoided; remove bottlenecks weekly.
Why urgency is justified
AMA highlights OBBBA’s structural changes to Medicaid/Marketplace/Medicare that tighten the operating environment for practices. Clinics that systematize prevention and documentation early will keep patients on schedule and protect value-based dollars. American Medical Association
