Clinical Quality Measures to Improve Diagnosis

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to provide assistance in the form of grants for the development of innovative clinical quality measures (defined in Appendix A) that promote excellence in diagnosis of three categories of disease – acute vascular events, infections and cancer. This is our fourth round of funding for work in clinical quality measure development; this round prioritizes measures intended for use in the MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) and the MVP (MIPS Value Pathway), and applications that utilize Qualified Clinical Data Registries (QCDRs). However, interested applicants working on other types of quality measures and data sources are still encouraged to apply. Final funding decisions will be based on the quality of the proposal and feasibility of the project.
