      The measure specifications are updated annually by CMS. Each measure version within MU2 is published during the year prior to its intended use. However, participation in different CMS programs leads to different CMS requirements. Therefore, it's necessary to check with the program regarding whether the program requires updated measures. For electronic reporting (as opposed to attestation) using QRDA, it is generally required to update to the most recent version. For attestation, users can frequently report older measure versions. A general guide to the eCQMs can be found at the eCQI Resource Center https://ecqi.healthit.gov/

      We were planning to use eCQMs for EP July 2014 version. But there is a newer version May 2015.

      Are there any logic changes if we use the latest version? Are there any major changes? Is there any document available stating the changes for a measure, if any? How do we approach this?

      Thank you!
