CMS Consensus-Based Entity (CBE)

The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 requires the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to work with a consensus-based entity (CBE) on performance measurement. The CMS CBE endorses quality measures through a transparent process that uses input from a range of stakeholders to support health care quality improvement. 

The CBE also brings together stakeholder groups to review the Measures Under Consideration (MUC) List as part of pre-rulemaking. In addition, it reviews CMS’s current measure portfolio and recommends updates when needed.
