Discrepancy between QDM version and publish date mentioned in Guidance document

      Our apologies for the confusion. The eCQM logic guidance document incorrectly states that QDM version 4.1.2 was published in July 2014. Version 4.1.2 was published in Jan 2015, and the logic and guidance conforms to the Jan 2015 release.
      Currently QDM v4.1.2 is the latest QDM release, and v4.2 does not exist, yet.

    • Impact to vendor analysis and implementation

      In the Electronic Clinical Quality Measure Logic and Implementation Guidance updated May 1, 2015, there is a statement in Section 3 that states the following:
      “The logic and data elements for the eCQMs are specified using the Quality Data Model (QDM) version 4.1.2 published in July 2014.”

      However, according to the QDM website found here http://healthit.gov/ecqi-resource-center/qdm/index.html , I noticed that QDM version 4.2.1 was published in January 2015. The version of the QDM that was published in July 2014 is version 4.1.

      Can you please clarify which version of the QDM we are to reference when reviewing the 2015 update of the eCQMs? thanks
