The Office of Clinical Standards and Quality (OCSQ) at CMS informed us this week that the NCDR™ has been selected for its pilot program exploring the use of registry data to meet PQRI requirements. The NCDR is one of 12 nominations selected out of over 30 received by the OCSQ.

The pilot will test two options: submitting patient level data to CMS, and submitting aggregate level data to CMS. This is an exciting step forward for the NCDR — and for our quest for quality-based health system reform.
