Each year, CMS updates the electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) for potential use in CMS quality reporting programs and publishes them on the eCQI Resource Center. CMS updates the specifications annually to align with current clinical guidelines and code systems so they remain relevant and actionable within the clinical care setting. CMS requires the use of the most current version of the eCQMs as specified and intended for the applicable reporting periods for all quality reporting programs. Additional information on Hospital OQR measures is located on Quality Net.
ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) is developed and specifications are finalized for use in the Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR) Program beginning with the voluntary calendar year (CY) 2023 reporting period followed by mandatory CY 2024 reporting period and subsequent years.
Questions about the use of this eCQM in the CMS Hospital OQR Program can be submitted to the QualityNet Question Answer Site.
Questions related to the OQR eCQM specifications, logic, data elements, standards, or resources can be submitted in the eCQM Tracker - ONC Project Tracking System (Jira).
