On Oct. 1, at the NAACOS Fall 2021 Conference, executives from three accountable care organizations described the daunting road ahead in transitioning to the submission of electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
After receiving strong feedback from ACOs about how challenging (and expensive) the transition to eCQMS would be, CMS has pushed back the timeline for reporting electronically. In 2022, ACOs will still be able to report via the web interface, with an option to submit electronically, but by 2023 they will have to report at least one eCQM.
