Currently there are multiple ways to express encounters in eCQMs. Generally the eCQM developers try to allow for variation in encounter capture but the method to express encounters has not been unified across all developers and care settings. Some encounter data elements need to be expanded and refined and public feedback is helpful for this process. CMS/ONC/NLM have plans to standardize and harmonize the encounter data elements in the upcoming year prior to the next stage of the program. Similar improvements will be instituted at the next annual update.
