EHRs in 2009. The measures on which specifications are
available for testing EHR data submission are identified in
Table 15. The specifications for these measures can be
found on the QualityNet Web site at
http://www.qualitynet.org/dcs/ContentServer?cid=12142324603

By December 31, 2008, we also anticipate posting on
the PQRI section of the CMS Web site at
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/pqri a list of requirements that EHR
vendors must be able to meet in order to self-nominate to
have their product “qualified” to potentially be able to
submit quality measures data for the 2010 PQRI to CMS.
Qualifying EHR vendors ahead of actual data submission will
facilitate the live data submission process.
EHR vendors interested in engaging in the 2009 testing
and qualification process should review the EHR
requirements document that will be posted on the PQRI
section of the CMS Web site at http://www.cms.hhs.gov. If
an EHR vendor wishes to be included in the testing and
qualification process, the vendor should submit a letter of
self-nomination to CMS by February 13, 2009 to:
