Review workflow regarding data collection.
Clinical Measure Alignment HRSA will continue to align UDS CQMs with those used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) UDS will also monitor 4 other clinical quality measures of interest that do not have corresponding CQMs (HIV Linkage to Care, Coronary Artery Disease: Lipid Therapy, Early Entry into Prenatal Care, Low Birth Weight) Some minor changes will continue to be made to tie measures to the Health Center Program's operations, goals, and objectives Most measure criteria will remain the same for 2018
Clinical Measure Alignment CQM The use of the May 2017 ecqms for eligible professionals is required for calendar year 2018 reporting. Note: Each year these measures are updated for the following year. Do not use the ones that come out in 2018. The specifications that come out in 2018 will be used for 2019 reporting The following CQMs do not have corresponding ecqms: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Lipid Therapy HIV Linkage to Care Early Entry to Prenatal Care Low Birth Weight Information taken from HRSA :https://bphc.hrsa.gov/datareporting/reporting/2018-uds-changes-webinar.pdf
