For over a decade CMS has been incorporating Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs) into the Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) program. For the first time, CMS has released an eCQM for the Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR) program. This new measure (STEMI OP-40) is required for successful completion of your OQR program requirements in 2024. Hospitals may voluntarily report the measure in 2023.
