CMS released the 2023 IPPS proposed rule. In it there was a huge emphasis on health equity and maternal care. You can see this reflected in the changes to your Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) program requirements.

In summary your changes are:

In 2022:
- CMS is bringing back two claims measures. These measures had previously been removed but are updated and back in action.
In 2023:
- You are required to attest to a new structural measure on health equity.
- There are two new eCQMs available, both will be mandatory in 2024.
- There are two new process measures focusing on Social Determinants of Health, both will be mandatory in 2024.
- There is a brand-new measure type available. It’s a new Patient Reported Outcomes Performance Measure (PRO-PM), which will be mandatory in 2025.
In 2024:
- You are required to submit 6 eCQMs instead of 4.
- You are required to submit 3 mandatory eCQMs and 3 self-selected eCQMs.
