Battelle is kicking off the 2026 Measure Set Review (MSR) cycle and needs your input! The MSR process is an annual opportunity to consider measures for continued use in select Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) quality programs. We need your help to select 35 measures for the MSR Recommendation Group to review and vote on during the October MSR Recommendation Group meeting.
In consultation with CMS, we have identified 39 active measures across CMS quality programs for potential review. Each MSR cycle focuses on measures within a priority area of the Cascade of Meaningful Measures. This year’s cycle focuses on the Safety priority.
