A QCDR collates data that can be utilized for fulfilling Merit-Based Incentive Payment Plan (MIPS), which is one of the two CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP) tracks.
QCDRs were developed for clinicians to create specialty-specific measures (E.g. ACEP measures), to measure quality performance processes and outcomes (QPP measures), to promote interoperability, and to reduce reporting burden.
QCDR Measures
QCDR Specified Measures

QCDR measures are approved each year by CMS after being self-nominated by the QCDR vendor.
