CQM-5855: Draft eCQM Logic and Implementation Guidance

The eCQM Logic and Implementation Guidance includes details to assist implementers for the eCQMs, including defining how specific logic and data elements should be conceptualized and addressed during eCQM implementation. It also provides information to interested parties on how to use ONC Project Tracking (Jira), the CMS and ONC feedback system, to provide feedback, track issues, and ask questions about measure intent, specifications, certification, standards, and issues uncovered during implementation associated with the eCQMs.

The Guide for Reading eCQMs is designed to help providers, quality analysts, implementers, and Health Information Technology vendors understand eCQMs and eCQM-related documents. The guide provides background on an eCQM package, the building blocks of an eCQM, and an overview of understanding the human-readable format of the eCQM.
