b. Discuss two ways MIPS could positively impact the practice area.
c. Describe the role of MIPS in supporting the financial viability of healthcare providers
and organizations.
d. Examine how advanced practice nurses can contribute to the development and refinement

clients and providers.
Hello class and Professor,
One practice area in which the merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) could be used to
improve the quality of care is in chronic disease management, like obesity.
One way MIPS could positively impact the practice area is by focusing on quality measurements
and its improvements such as BMI screenings, nutrition counseling, and physical activities.
Monitoring obesity comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes is another quality data
measurement that can be put into consideration.
Another way MIPS could positively impact the practice area is by improving patient-centered
care. MIPS can encourage providers to personalize treatment to the individual's needs and
