      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS1206v2 Excessive Radiation Dose or Inadequate Image Quality for Diagnostic Computed Tomography (CT) in Adults (Facility OQR).

      Size-adjusted dose is calculated by pre-processing software prior to incorporation into the 1206v2 eCQM. Each pre-processing software vendor is responsible for ensuring that their software meets measure specifications. If you have questions regarding Alara's pre-processing software, please contact Alara directly: https://www.alaragateway.com/contact

      For additional information regarding the use of pre-processing software please refer to the ECQI resource center: https://ecqi.healthit.gov/excessive-radiation-dose-or-inadequate-image-quality-diagnostic-computed-tomography-adults-ecqm-measure-clarification

    • High-we would like to develop an internal solution that will meet the ExRad eCQM requirements but need computation specifications

      We would like to develop an internal solution that will meet the ExRad eCQM requirements. We cannot progress because we do not have specifications on how ALARA or any other translation software translates and computes measurement variables to accurately comply with CMS requirements. When will the specifications and detailed information on the translation software be available so we can move forward with developing our own translations software? Thank you.
