HIV electronic clinical quality measures (eCQM) for use by any provider, organization, or facility. Measures developed and tested by HRSA.
The eCQI Resource Center defines an eCQM as:
"An electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) is a clinical quality measure that is expressed and formatted to use data from electronic health records (EHR) and/or health information technology systems to measure healthcare quality, specifically data captured in structured form during the process of patient care. So they can be reported from an EHR, the Health Quality Measure Format (HQMF) is used to format the eCQM content using the Quality Data Model (QDM) to define the data elements and Clinical Quality Language (CQL) to express the logic needed to evaluate a provider or organization’s performance."
Relatedly, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid recommends that eCQMs are endorsed by a national organization. The National Quality Forum (NQF) endorsed HIV Medical Visit Frequency, HIV Viral Load Suppression, and Prescription of HIV Antiretroviral Therapy as paper measures and eCQMs.
