A measure developer is an individual or organization responsible for the development, implementation, and maintenance of a measure. Measure developers may create, edit, and submit measures for consideration by CMS to include in programs. CMS encourages measure developers to use the Blueprint content on the Measures Management System Hub as a guide in creating their measures and to collaborate with other measure developers to share best practices/new learnings freely, e.g., CMS measure development contractors, hospital systems, medical associations, or federal health agencies.
