May 29, 2026 Release Highlights Copied

Practice Insights announces the implementation of technical fixes within the application to support Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) requirements.

Performance Improvements

We’ve optimized the following Dashboard to improve speed and usability:

  1. NCCN Distress Thermometer Dashboard
  2. EOM Eligibility Dashboard
  3. VBC Navigation Summary Dashboard

What this means for your practice

  • Faster dashboard load times
  • Quicker navigation and data access
  • A smoother day-to-day experience

Most practices should see the dashboard load about twice as fast as before.

Status of Dashboard Updates for 2026

CMS releases updates to the quality measure specifications annually for the MIPS program. These measure specifications have been reviewed, and Practice Insights is working on the required technical updates to align with the revised requirements. Ontada will continue to notify practices once measures have been updated based on the current 2026 requirements.

The following measures have been fully updated for the 2026 measure year:
