Description | The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the United States has used QDM-based HQMF to define electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) using a CMS-specific data model, the Quality Data Model (QDM) as a data model and expression logic. eCQMs written using QDM-based HQMF were last published in May 2017 for reporting during the calendar year 2018. The last reporting option for these eCQMs using QDM-based HQMF ends March 2019 (using 2018 clinical data). The Joint Commission is aligning with CMS and will no longer use QDM-based HQMF subsequent to reviewing 2018 data. New measures published in 2018 for clinical implementation in 2019 for reporting through March 2020 and potentially subsequent years uses CQL-based HQMF, a different STU. Therefore, QDM-based HQMF is no longer in use and should be withdrawn. |
