Now Available: Visit the eCQM Issue Tracker to Review eCQM Draft Measure Packages for 2026 Reporting/Performance Periods

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) invites electronic health record (EHR) vendors and interested parties to review and provide feedback on draft electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) specifications, including draft logic and header changes, under consideration for CMS quality reporting and payment programs.

This opportunity will allow CMS to learn from EHR vendors and interested parties who have the technical ability to review the draft measures in the Clinical Quality Language (CQL) standard for logic expression and test the Health Quality Measures Format (HQMF) code by directly consuming machine readable XML files for eCQMs. Testing will help CMS to identify instances in which the XML code produces errors so that issues can be resolved prior to posting the fully specified measures in spring 2025.

The draft measures in HTML, XML, and JSON formats are available *December 6, 2024 *through *December 20, 2024 *on the ONC Project Tracking System eCQM Issue Tracker [ https://oncprojectracking.healthit.gov/support/projects/CQM/summary ] via the following Jira tickets:


* CQM-7459 [ https://oncprojectracking.healthit.gov/support/browse/CQM-7459 ]: Annual Update for the 2026 Performance Period: Draft Preview of Eligible Clinician eCQMs
* CQM-7460 [ https://oncprojectracking.healthit.gov/support/browse/CQM-7460 ]: Annual Update for the 2026 Reporting Period: Draft Preview of Eligible Hospital and Critical Access Hospital eCQMs
* CQM-7461 [ https://oncprojectracking.healthit.gov/support/browse/CQM-7461 ]: Annual Update for the 2026 Reporting Period: Draft Preview of Outpatient Quality Reporting eCQMs

Report questions and comments regarding the draft eCQM specifications to the eCQM Issue Tracker [ https://oncprojectracking.healthit.gov/support/projects/CQM/summary ] tickets listed above. Please note that the draft eCQM specifications posted during this review period are exported through the Measure Authoring Development Integrated Environment (MADiE) tool. Naming conventions used in draft eCQM specification files may differ from those used in previously published measures exported through the now decommissioned Measure Authoring Tool (MAT).

The fully specified eCQMs will be available on the eCQI Resource Center [ https://ecqi.healthit.gov/ ] in spring 2025. Measures will not be eligible for 2026 reporting unless and until they are proposed and finalized through notice-and-comment rulemaking for each applicable program. The eCQMs will be expressed using CQL logic and will continue to use the Quality Data Model (QDM) as the conceptual model to express clinical concepts contained within eCQMs. Refer to the QDM v5.6 [ https://ecqi.healthit.gov/qdm/ ] and CQL standard v1.5.2 [ http://cql.hl7.org/ ] to better understand how they work together to provide eCQMs that are human readable, yet structured for electronic processing.

Call for Survey Vendors: Making Care Primary (MCP) Person-Centered Primary Care Measure (PCPCM) Survey

This announcement is to notify survey vendors and Qualified Clinical Data Registries (QCDRs) of the opportunity to contract with Making Care Primary (MCP) [ https://www.cms.gov/priorities/innovation/innovation-models/making-care-primary ] participants to collect and report survey data for the Person-Centered Primary Care Measure (PCPCM). In July 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Innovation Center launched MCP, a voluntary payment model for primary care organizations. MCP participants must report the MCP PCPCM, which is a survey-based measure of patient experience. The PCPCM survey will first be fielded beginning September 2025.

MCP is a progressive three-track model with 87 participants starting the model in Track 1, 40 participants in Track 2, and 4 participants in Track 3. MCP participants in Track and Track 3 must contract with a CMS-approved survey vendor to conduct the PCPCM survey. Participants in Track 1 do not need to contract directly with a CMS-approved vendor as CMS is paying for and administering the survey. Track 1 participants will transition to Track 2 after 2026.

*Survey vendors and QCDRs interested in becoming a CMS-approved MCP PCPCM survey vendor can apply via the **MCP survey website* [ https://mcpsurvey.org/Vendors/Vendor-Application-Process ]* between* *December 18, 2024 and January 17, 2025. *Applicants will need to meet the Minimum Business Requirements [ https://mcpsurvey.org/Vendors/Minimum-Business-Requirements ] and complete the requirements*. * 

For more information, please visit mcpsurvey.org [ https://mcpsurvey.org/ ], contact the MCP PCPCM survey team via email at mcpsurvey@rti.org, or call 866-662-8175.
