The Public Comment is now open through March 25, 2026 on the Draft 2027 CMS QRDA I Implementation Guide, Schematron, and Sample File for Hospital Quality Reporting
The electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) Annual Update Pre-publication Document outlines the versions of standards and code systems incorporated in the updated eCQMs for possible use in CMS programs during the reporting and performance period. It is intended to help health information technology (IT) and electronic health record (EHR) developers, eligible clinicians, and hospitals prepare for upcoming reporting year by providing a transparent, pre-release view of the anticipated standards and code system versions. The document is found on the eCQM Resources tab of the eCQM pages, example: https://ecqi.healthit.gov/eh-cah/ecqm-resources?globalyearfilter=2027&global_measure_group=3716
