CMS Roadmap for Switching to FHIR-Based Digital Quality Measures
CMS' Roadmap for Switching to FHIR-Based Digital Quality Measures -
CMS is developing a roadmap to transition digital quality measures to use FHIR standards.
Summary
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is transitioning from electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) to FHIR-based digital quality measures (dQMs). This shift aims to improve interoperability and data sharing, reducing reporting burdens for providers while supporting automated, real-time quality insights.
Key Players
Details
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is steadily moving toward adopting FHIR-based dQMs. CMS believes these new measures will enable a more dynamic, interoperable, and comprehensive approach to quality measurement compared to the current eCQMs. The transition aims not only to improve data sharing but also to reduce the reporting burden on providers. CMS emphasizes that FHIR's modular design and RESTful APIs are key enablers for this change, facilitating rapid implementation, scalability, and integration across diverse healthcare systems. This initiative seeks to align clinical care, reporting requirements, and program accountability through advanced data exchange capabilities.
