Abstract: In the FY 2018 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule, we finalized voluntary reporting of the Hybrid Hospital-Wide 30-Day Readmission measure. We also finalized a modification of our previously finalized electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) reporting requirements for the FY 2019 and FY 2020 payment determinations, such that hospitals would be required to report on four eCQMs and to submit one, self-selected, calendar quarter of data. Lastly, we finalized a modification to our previously finalized eCQM validation process for the Hospital IQR Program data beginning with the FY 2020 payment determination. Specifically, we finalized that hospitals selected for eCQM data validation must submit 8 cases per quarter for one quarter for the FY 2020 payment determination and 8 cases per quarter for one quarter for the FY 2021 payment determination.
