      When we say 2014 Eligible Hospital Clinical Quality Measure (CQM) Value Sets, we mean the same as CMS when they say, e.g., on this page http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/eCQM_Library.html , "2014 eCQM Specifications for EH Release April 2013". So, it is to indicate value sets that comply the CMS requirement for 2014 EHR specifications. So this is the official language that was approved by CMS and ONC.

      To clarify the question from the reporter regarding the publication of updated value sets:
      Currently, value set authors and stewards are able to publish updated value sets. The VSAC offers authors and stewards the ability to validate and update value sets using the VSAC authoring tool. For the EHR Incentive Program at the current time, however, the CMS statute requires static publication of the value sets annually. The 2014 EHR Incentive Program will publish the EH value sets around April 1, 2014 and the EP value sets will be published near June 1, 2014.

      The welcome page on VSAC indicates the annual update for the 2014 Eligible Hospital Clinical Quality Measure (CQM) Value Sets have been published, but there is no file to download in the download tabs for 2014 - the most recent is June 14, 2013.

      Also, the download link on the Search Value Sets tab (not the export to excel link) downloads a file with 2013 codes even when the listing on VSAC shows 2014 codes for the same value set.....For example, I search on an OID and click the checkbox next to the value set name and the click [download] , the XML file contains codes from the 2013 version of ICD10 even when the code system version shown on the VSAC site says 2014. I did this for about 500 value sets and all of them referenced old codes in the XML..

      See attached files....
