General Question for the Week of May 28, 2018

Question:

Where can I find Medicare’s electronic clinical quality measures for next year?

Answer:

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have posted the electronic clinical quality measures (eCQM) annual update for the 2019 reporting period for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs), and the 2019 performance period for eligible professionals and eligible clinicians. However, measures will not be eligible for 2019 reporting unless and until they are proposed and finalized through notice-and-comment rulemaking for each applicable program.
