Learn about the revamped eCQI Resource Center

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has reintroduced its eCQI Resource Center, which serves as a one-stop shop for the most current resources to support electronic clinical quality improvement.

The website provides a centralized location for critical clinical quality measure resources, including the electronic clinical quality measures and their specifications, links to tools for measure development, testing and clinical decision support.

The agency will conduct a live demonstration of the website on Jan. 27, at 3 p.m. EST.
