CMS has Posted the Proposed CQMs under the Stage 2 NPRM on the CMS Website
CMS has posted the full set of proposed Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs)
for 2014 as part of the Medicare and Medicaid Programs Electronic
Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs Stage 2 Notice of Proposed Rule
Making (NPRM). The public can review the CQMs and submit feedback
online.
Proposed CQMs
The
proposed CQMs are outlined in two tables that describe each measure and
provide additional information for eligible professionals (EPs),
eligible hospitals, and critical access hospitals (CAHs) beyond the
descriptions listed on the National Quality Forum (NQF) website.
Some
of these measures are still in development; therefore, the descriptions
provided in these tables may change before the final rule is published.
When possible, links have been provided for measures that have
corresponding information on the NQF website. If a measure does not have
an NQF number, it means that measure has not yet been endorsed.
Public Comment
Public
comments regarding these measures should be submitted using the same
method required for all comments related to the proposed rule. You can
submit public comments online through the federal regulations website.
The deadline for public comments relating to the proposed CQMs and other aspects of the Stage 2 NPRM is May 7, 2012.
