Discrepancy between Stage 3 requirements and CQMs

    • Type: EC eCQMs - Eligible Clinicians
    • Resolution: Done
    • Priority: Moderate
    • Component/s: ValueSet
    • NDC or CVX

      Based on the CMS Blueprint, which includes the standards used for eCQM development, CVX is a recommended clinical vocabulary standard by the ONC HIT Standards Committee for vaccinations administered. However, if a system internally captures immunizations using different code or code system, and clinically it is used and coded in the same manner as defined in the measure, then systems can map equivalent codes to the codes in the measure. If audited, it is expected that the site can demonstrate internal codes and their mappings are clinically and technically equivalent.

    • The ValueSet/CodeSystem is in direct conflict with the ValueSet/CodeSystem used by Stage 3 Reporting to Immunization Registry.

      For Stage 3 Immunization Report Criterion we are required to report Immunizations administered with a NDC ValueSet and CodeSystem However for CQMs in 2017 it is still looking for CVX ValueSet and CodeSystem. Can you please provide guidance on how this can be accomplished. Will the CQM ValueSets be changing to NDC codes in the future to match up with the Stage 3 requirements?
