We received notification today that Hospitals are not required to use the Alara Imaging Software for measure compliance. When I checked the measure specifications on the eCQI site it still lists Alara Imaging as the measure steward and specifies that the translation software necessary to use this eCQM is written and maintained by Alara Imaging. Can you please clarify if we are now allowed to use our existing vendor if they are able to meet the measure requirements or could we potentially have issues with submitting and validating data if we do not use Alara Imaging?
