Joint Commission: Deadline approaching for submission of CY 2019 eCQM data

Editor's Note

The Joint Commission on October 29 announced that the deadline for onboarding to the Direct Data Submission (DDS) Platform for submission of CY 2019 electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) is December 20.

Organizations that submitted CY 2018 eCQMs through the DDS Platform do not need to be onboarded again, but they should access the CY 2019 DDS Platform using the same link as last year to verify they have access.

The Joint Commission notes that it is important to onboard as soon as possible because there will be no extensions, and eCQM data cannot be submitted after the CY 2019 deadline of March 16, 2020.
