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 Guide for Reading Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs) is a resource designed to help healthcare professionals, implementers, and developers understand how eCQMs are structured, calculated, and reported. eCQMs are standardized measures used to assess the quality of care provided to patients, using data from electronic health records (EHRs). In other words, it’s a “how-to manual” for understanding, implementing, and using electronic quality measures in clinical practice.
