Specifically, the medical community expresses concern about the lack of stability in quality reporting policies and standards and the timeline for new testing requirements placed on qualified clinical data registry (QCDR) measures. SIS joins the AMA and other signatories in urging CMS to broaden its bench of clinical and measurement experts and follow recommendations designed to handle the new QCDR testing requirements.
