[Slideshow] 2022 IPPS Proposed Rule: eCQM & Hybrid Measure Changes

CMS released their 2022 IPPS proposed rule and included changes to the hybrid measure and eCQM requirements.

CMS had previously released the Hybrid All-Cause Readmission (HWR) measure which is mandatory by 2023. Now, they have added this new hybrid measure, which is also mandatory by 2023.

If you didn’t plan to voluntarily submit the hybrid measure this year, you should probably reconsider. Both of these hybrid measures will be publicly reported and affect your successful completion (and payments) in the Hospital IQR program.
