CRS produces on demand from local RPMS databases a printed or electronic report for any or all of over 300+ clinical performance measures, representing 69 clinical topics. CRS is intended to eliminate the need for manual chart audits for evaluating and reporting clinical measures that depend on RPMS data. Each year, an updated version of CRS software is released to reflect changes in and additions to clinical performance measure definitions.
