2026 Reporting Period Hosp Inpt eCQMs:

CMS0832v3, CMS1218v2
Impact:
Confusion and potentially inaccurate results.

CY2026 reporting period -

The QDM data element for "Body Temperature" is modeled differently between the HH-AKI and HH-RF eCQMs. We are trying to understand why.

HH-AKI

In this eCQM, the LOINC codes for Body Temperature are selected from a valueset which has 21 codes.

HH-RF (Postoperative Respiratory Failure)

In this eCQM, the Body Temperature is limited to a single direct reference LOINC code 8310-5.

Is there a reason to capture the Body Temperature differently in the 2 eCQMs?

Is it possible to align this QDM element between the 2 eCQMs?
