CMS pre-rulemaking hybrid measures are developed, but specifications are not finalized for use in a CMS quality reporting program. These measures will not be eligible for CMS quality reporting until they are proposed and finalized through notice-and-comment rulemaking for each applicable program.

Feedback on technical aspects of these hybrid measures should be submitted to the ONC Project Tracking System (Jira) eCQM Issue Tracker.

Feedback on the potential use of these hybrid measures in CMS quality programs is to be submitted during formal CMS public comment periods associated with the relevant proposed rules.

For more information on pre-rulemaking, see the Pre-Rulemaking section on the CMS MMS Hub.

Across the eCQI Resource Center, for brevity, we use the term eCQM to encompass eCQMs and hybrid measures unless specified in a filter.
