Electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) Testing Opportunities

The eCQM Testing Opportunity module provides stakeholders with available opportunities to participate in eCQM testing. Measure developers use testing for a variety of reasons throughout the Measure Lifecycle. They need pilot sites to:

• assess measure feasibility
• determine the extent to which the required data elements are available and retrievable in the electronic health record (EHR)/health information technology (IT)
• determine the extent to which measured entities can implement without undue burden for performance measurement
• assess measure reliability
• assess measure validity
• reassess after updating specifications
• assess measure usefulness

Are you a stakeholder interested in testing eCQMs?

There are several potential benefits:

• Test site staff will gain insight into quality measurement that could help your organization refine its internal efforts to improve quality.
• Test site staff will help provide insight for a measure that CMS may use in its quality reporting programs.
• Test sites may receive an incentive payment.

Review the list of opportunities and contact the measure developer directly.

Are you a measure developer looking to announce eCQM testing opportunities?
