Reporting Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs) is an EHR Modified Stage 2 requirement. CQMs are tools used to measure and track the quality of healthcare services.

Open Dental reports on 9 CQMs. These CQMs were chosen for certification because they cover at least 3 National Quality Strategy (NQS) domains, focus on high-priority health conditions and best-practices for care delivery, and are applicable to dental providers.

Calculations

• Denominators are based on EHR Encounters. By default, encounters are not automatically generated based on completed procedures or appointments. However, you can automate the process if you set a EHR Default Encounter Code. If you choose not to set a default, you must manually generate CQM encounters that are appropriate for each measure.
• Numerators are based on completing specific actions and/or EHR Interventions.

For specific denominator and numerator logic for each CQM, see EHR Clinical Quality Measure Descriptions.

Some CQMs use specific code systems in calculations. To download coding systems and see which codes are used in CQMs, see Importing Coding Systems.
