The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have posted an online webinar held August 30, 2011, on clinical quality measures (CQMs) and how to report them during Stage 1 of meaningful use for the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive programs.

The webinar presentation includes an overview of the CQMs, how to report CQMs during attestation, and why CQMs are included in the EHR Incentive Programs. You can view a PDF of the webinar presentation at: https://www.cms.gov/EHRIncentivePrograms/Downloads/CQM_Webinar_Slides.pdf.

A transcript of an hour-long question and answer session that followed the August 30 webinar will be made available online soon, along with a video of the webinar.
