The 2027 Annual Update draft measure specifications are now available. Question and comment on Eligible Clinician eCQMs, Hospital - Inpatient eCQMs, and Hospital - Outpatient eCQM until December 19, 2025.
The Electronic Clinical Quality Improvement (eCQI) Resource Center has updated the Eligible Clinician (EC) and the Eligible Hospital/Critical Access Hospital (EH/CAH) Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs) pages. The new Compare function compares two consecutive years (2020-2021 and 2021-2022) of the eCQM specifications found in the header of the measure's HTML. It currently does not include a comparison of any information in the body of the HTML, e.g., population criteria, Clinical Quality Language, or value sets.
We invite you to use this new feature and send comments, suggestions, or questions regarding it to ecqi-resource-center@hhs.gov.
