The Measure Set Review (MSR) process is designed to ensure that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare quality programs use the most effective and relevant measures. Through the MSR, a committee of experts reviews and recommends whether specific measures should continue to be used in their respective programs. These recommendations are informed by the latest data on each measure’s performance, alignment with program goals, ongoing relevance to interested parties, and CMS priorities. Each of the 21 measures for the 2025 MSR cycle is accompanied by a PA, designed to provide the public and MSR committee members with a clear, concise overview of the measure’s performance and use within a CMS program.
Before reviewing the preliminary assessments posted below, we strongly encourage stakeholders to first read the MSR Guidance Document. This document outlines the review methodology, criteria used for evaluation, and how stakeholder feedback is incorporated into the process.
