CMS is soliciting quality measure suggestions for potential use in the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and other quality programs in future years. Measures submitted by June 15, 2015 may be considered for inclusion on the 2015 Measures Under Consideration (MUC) list for implementation in PQRS as early as 2017. CMS notes that it will give priority to measures that are outcome-based, address a measure gap, and reflect the most up-to-date clinical guidelines. CMS is not accepting claims-based only reporting measures in this process.
