2024 Measures Under Consideration List Now Available!

The “2024 Measures Under Consideration (MUC) List”, an Excel file detailing all the measures and their specifications, along with the “2024 MUC List Overview”, a PDF that summarizes the MUC List process and provides high-level information, have been published on the Measures Management System (MMS) Hub.

Highlights from the 2024 MUC List include:

• A total of 41 unique measures are included for consideration, of which 14 are currently implemented in Medicare programs and have been added to the MUC List due to significant revisions to their specifications.
• 100% of the measures rely on data submissions using at least one digital data source and 78% of these measures rely on data submissions using only digital data sources, which is consistent with CMS’s priority for the development of interoperable and digital quality measures.
• 37% of the measures address the Person-Centered Care Meaningful Measure Priority.

By publishing this List, CMS makes these 41 measures publicly available and will seek input through public comments by the CMS Consensus Based-Entity (CBE). Public commenting is anticipated to be open from Monday, November 25, until Monday, December 30. For more information or to submit a comment, please visit: https://p4qm.org/media/3166
