Throughout the PRMR cycle, PQM generates many resources for committee members, measure developers/stewards, CMS and the general public. This page is your one-stop archive for the PRMR technical reports, meeting summaries, preliminary evaluations, public comment summaries and more that power PQM's mission.
Pre-Rulemaking Review (PRMR)
The PRMR process supports consensus recommendations regarding the inclusion of measures under consideration (MUCs) in Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) quality reporting and value-based programs.
There are three PRMR committees grouped by care setting: Hospital, Clinician, and Post-Acute Care/Long-Term Care (PAC/LTC). These committees consist of a diverse membership representing all facets of the health care system. PQM emphasizes the inclusion of patients/recipients of care, caregivers, patient advocates, and traditionally underrepresented groups in this process.
