Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR) Program Overview
The Hospital OQR Program is a voluntary quality measure data reporting program for outpatient hospital services implemented by CMS. CMS focuses on reporting measure data that have high impact and support national priorities for improved quality and efficiency of care for Medicare beneficiaries.
Hospitals must submit data for 27 quality measures; these include clinical performance measures, imaging efficiency measures, and web-based (structural) measures. Participating hospitals agree that they will allow CMS to publicly report data for the quality measures, as is stated in the current OPPS/ASC final rule.
