Measure Collaboration (MC) Workspace

Electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) Concepts

The Measure Collaboration Workspace Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQM) Concepts module gives users the ability to comment on eCQM concepts under development, submit new measure concepts, align new measures with Meaningful Measures criteria, and identify whether similar measures exist. Feedback provided through the eCQM Concepts Module can help guide the measure developer to refine the concept and purpose behind a new measure to better suit the needs of all quality measurement stakeholders.

How to Comment on or Propose an eCQM Concept

If you have a measure concept in mind or want to comment on an existing concept, follow these simple steps to propose your idea:

1. Search the CMS Measures Inventory Tool, to see if your proposed measure concept is in progress.
2. Search the Measure Collaboration Workspace Proposed Concepts Library for your measure concept. If it exists, submit your comments supporting the concept for consideration by the measure developer.
3. If your proposed measure concept does not exist, click on Propose an eCQM Concept, to submit basic information about your concept. This information will be routed to CMS measure developers for consideration.
