    Web Portal Reporting Time Estimates

    Data entry for individual-measures reporting depends on the volume of Medicare patients you see. To estimate how much staff time it would take:

    • Assume 3 minutes’ data entry time per patient per measure.

    • Multiply by the number of patients you would need to report on to meet the 75% threshold (3 minutes x Patients).

    • If you could report more than one measure by per patient, multiply by the estimated number of measures you expect to report per patient (3 minutes x Patients x Measures).
