2024 Reporting Period Eligible Hospital / Critical Access Hospital eCQMs
Total number of EH/CAH eCQMs: 12
Total number of EH/CAH eCQMs: 12
Each year, CMS updates the electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) for potential use in CMS quality reporting programs and publishes them on the eCQI Resource Center. CMS updates the specifications annually to align with current clinical guidelines and code systems so they remain relevant and actionable within the clinical care setting. CMS requires the use of the most current version of the eCQMs as specified and intended for the applicable reporting periods for all quality reporting programs.
The updated eCQMs are to be used by eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals to electronically report 2024 clinical quality measure data for CMS quality reporting programs. Measures will not be eligible for 2024 reporting unless and until they are proposed and finalized through notice-and-comment rulemaking for each applicable program.
Questions related to the eCQM specifications, logic, data elements, standards, or resources can be submitted in the eCQM Tracker - ONC Project Tracking System (Jira).
