2018 Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) Measure Specifications

Today, CMS posted the measure specifications for the approved 2018 Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) measures. Rather than being grouped by QCDR, this file allows users to group measures by specialty and topic to see what QCDR measures are most applicable to their practice and/or specialty. Furthermore, the posting of this specification file will act as a reference tool for existing and potential new QCDR vendors who may be interested in developing their own QCDR measures, and should help them to avoid developing and submitting measures that are duplicative of existing QCDR measures.
