Now Available: eCQM Tools, Resources, & Collaboration (InfoTRAC) Graphic and Annual Timeline on the eCQI Resource Center

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently updated the Electronic Clinical Quality Improvement (eCQI) Resource Center website based on user feedback. It is the one-stop shop for the most current resources to support electronic clinical quality improvement. The website serves as a centralized location for federal eCQI initiatives and includes the most current Electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) specifications, as well as links to the tools, standards, education, and materials critical to support development, testing, implementation, and reporting of eCQMs. The eCQI Resource Center is excited to offer two new resources based on stakeholder feedback.

The new eCQM Tools, Resources, & Collaboration (InfoTRAC) previously named eCQM Tools & Resources, has been revised and redeveloped based on user input. This interactive graphic provides an in-depth overview of the tools, standards, and resources used in the various stages of the eCQM lifecycle. Stakeholders will find references and links to tools and resources specific to their areas of interest.

The Annual Timeline is a new interactive tool that improves awareness of eCQM resources and timeframes for measure developers, implementers, and end users to plan and provide feedback looking from a calendar year. It is a general guide for referencing scheduled updates affecting programs that use eCQMs including eCQM specifications, tools, reporting, proposed and final rules, public comments, and more.
