E&M Cycle Comments

Effective March 27, 2023, the National Quality Forum (NQF) is no longer the consensus-based entity (CBE) funded through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) National Consensus Development and Strategic Planning for Health Care Quality Measurement Contract. Battelle has been selected to oversee the endorsement & maintenance (E&M) of clinical quality and cost/resource use measures. Since the Spring 2023 cycle launched at NQF, measures submitted to this E&M cycle continued along the prior E&M protocols that were in place at time of the Spring 2023 “Intent to Submit.” Battelle took over the E&M work for the Spring 2023 cycle when developers and/or stewards submitted their full measure information, which for CBE #3752e, the most recent measure specifications can be found here: https://p4qm.org/sites/default/files/2023-06/3752e_-_retention.zip

To close out this E&M cycle, Battelle published the Spring 2023 measures for pre-evaluation public commenting, convened the E&M standing committees for their measure evaluation meetings, launched the Spring 2023 post-comment period, convened the E&M committees for the post-comment meeting, convened the CSAC to render a final endorsement decision, and executed the appeals period.
