Measure Collaboration (MC) Workspace
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 eCQM feasibility
- determine the extent to which the required data elements are available and retrievable in the electronic health record/health information technology
- determine the extent to which measured entities can implement without undue burden for performance measurement
- assess eCQM reliability
- assess eCQM validity
- reassess after updating specifications
- assess eCQM 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.
Note there are no testing opportunities currently available. Please check back.
