      Thank you for your inquiry about CMS127v11, Pneumococcal Vaccine for Older Adults. The measure requires documentation of a pneumococcal vaccination received on or after a patient's 60th birthday and before the end of the measurement period. The measure requires documentation via QDM v5.6 datatypes "Immunization, Administered" with any codes listed in the "Adult Pneumococcal Vaccine" value set (2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.1161), or "Procedure, Performed" with any codes listed in the "Adult Pneumococcal Vaccine Administered" value set (2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.1162).
      Self-reported vaccinations are accepted if the information is documented in a structured field in the EHR, approved for entry by the provider. For additional guidance on reading or implementing eCQMs, you may refer to available resources on the eCQI Resource Center: https://ecqi.healthit.gov/ep-ec?qt-tabs_ep=0&globalyearfilter=2023.

      Regarding CMS 127-Pneumococcal Vaccine for Older Adults, what is the appropriate way to document prior receipt of the vaccine when patients self-report? Is a vaccine administration document required or is it sufficient to take the patient's verbal self-report?
