Pre-Rulemaking Review (PRMR)

The PRMR process supports consensus recommendations regarding the inclusion of measures under consideration (MUCs) in Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) quality reporting and value-based programs. 

There are three PRMR committees grouped by care setting: Hospital, Clinician, and Post-Acute Care/Long-Term Care (PAC/LTC). These committees consist of a diverse membership representing all facets of the health care system. PQM emphasizes the inclusion of patients/recipients of care, caregivers, patient advocates, and traditionally underrepresented groups in this process.
