Electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) Concepts

The Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQM) Concept module gives users the ability to comment on concepts under development or submit new measure concepts, align new measures with Meaningful Measures criteria, and identify whether similar measures exist. Feedback can help guide the measure developer to refine the concept and purpose behind a new measure to better suit the needs of the quality measurement reporting community. Browse eCQM Concepts that have been submitted and share comments to help inform the measure development process.

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.
