(Medicare) as we said time and
time again from being nothing
more than a passive payer to an
active purchaser of high quality

eCQM Future – Stage 3 and beyond
• Better “Retooled” Measures
• Develop “de novo” eCQM (CMS TEPs)- Outcomes Measures; Including Patient Reported
Outcomes
- Fill NQS Gaps; E.g. Care Coordination
- eMeasures Risk Adjustment
• Leverage CDS linked to eCQM for CQI
• ? Creation of eMeasures Incubator
• Streamline eMeasures Development Process

Data Capture/Workflow Principles
Reduce data capture burden for quality reporting only; Avoid “Death by a thousand clicks”
Make clinical data capture sharable;
Routine patient care / Clinical decision support/ eMeasures
Anticipate & Incorporate “downstream needs” for standardized data early during data capture screen/form builds
Develop working knowledge of Key Standards SNOMED / RxNorm / LOINC
Involve Clinicians early; Find Champions
Dedicate resources for education in quality measurement
Communicate often & Celebrate successes
Leverage MEDITECH “Best Practices” where possible
