- The National Association of ACOs (NAACOS) has launched a new task force to develop recommendations for ACO digital quality measurement.  

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) aims to move entirely to electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) by 2025. CMS evaluates ACOs on several quality measures, including patient experience, cancer screenings, and diabetes control.

However, digital quality measurement presents challenges for ACOs, as they must combine data from various providers that often do not use the same EHR.
