    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 306
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), under the Department of Health and Human Services, has announced a funding opportunity to develop electronic clinical quality measures (eCQM) for radiology in hospital programs. The aim is to improve programs like the Hospital Inpatient and Outpatient Quality Reporting Programs by supporting the development and use of quality measures. CMS plans to award a contract to Alara Imaging, a company equipped with the necessary expertise and software for this project. This notice does not require any information collection from the public.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to make X-ray programs in hospitals better and has given Alara Imaging money to help do this, but some people are worried because they didn't let other companies try for the job.

  • 2021-04130 — Notice of Withdrawal of Development of Computed Tomography (CT) Image Quality and Safety Hospital Measures Funding Opportunity
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 12004
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is withdrawing a notice from January 5, 2021, about a funding opportunity to develop new measures for radiology quality and safety in hospitals. The withdrawal is due to delays that prevent the measures from being developed on time. CMS will no longer support this project through a cooperative agreement, meaning they will not accept applications for this specific funding opportunity. The decision does not involve any new requirements for reporting or information collection.

    Simple Explanation

    CMS had a plan to help hospitals make sure their X-ray pictures were high quality and safe, but now they've decided not to do that plan because it's taking too long.
