      Thank you for your question on CMS157v12/QID#143: Oncology: Medical and Radiation - Pain Intensity Quantified. The measure requires quantifying pain intensity using a standard instrument at each eligible patient-physician interaction. Pain assessments using non-standard tools should not meet the measure.

      For eCQM measure #143, If you switch pain scales in the middle of a performance year from an unvalidated to a validated tool, would this be an acceptable use case for the unvalidated pain screenings being considered incomplete as the pain severity is otherwise not documented and for reason not otherwise specified i.e. due to invalid tool used?
