Electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) Concepts
Do you have an idea for a new eCQM? Would you like to see what new eCQM concepts are being discussed? The Measure Collaboration Workspace eCQM Concepts module gives users the ability to submit ideas for new eCQMs, search for eCQM concepts suggested by others, provide comments, describe the population(s), and assign a care setting. Feedback provided through the eCQM Concepts Module can help guide an eCQM developer to refine the concept and purpose behind a new eCQM and develop detailed specifications to meet the needs of targeted quality measurement stakeholders.
How to Comment on or Suggest an eCQM Concept
If you have an eCQM concept in mind or want to comment on an eCQM concept someone else has suggested, follow these simple steps to propose your idea:
- Search the CMS Measures Inventory Tool and the PQM STAR to see if your suggested eCQM concept is in progress or already exists.
- Review the list of suggested eCQMs below, click the name of the concept of interest to see if the details of the suggested concept are similar to your idea. If yes, it is similar, offer comments to the submitter at the bottom of that eCQM concept.
- If no, suggest your eCQM concept by clicking Suggest an eCQM Concept and fill out the form.
