The “2025 Measures Under Consideration (MUC) List”, has been published on the Measures Management System (MMS) Hub. The publication includes an Excel file detailing measures   specifications, along with the “2025 MUC List Overview”, a PDF that summarizes the MUC List process and provides high-level information.

Highlights from the 2025 MUC List include:

• A total of 24 unique measures included for consideration, of which ten are currently implemented in Medicare programs: eight are on the MUC List due to substantive changes made to their specifications, and two are on the MUC List because they were submitted for use in additional programs.
• One hundred percent (24 of 24) of the measures rely on data submissions using at least one digital data source and 96% (23 of 24) of these measures rely on data submissions using only digital data sources, which is consistent with CMS’s priority for the development of interoperable and digital quality measures.
• Twenty-nine percent (7 of 24) of the measures address the Chronic Conditions and Related Acute Events Meaningful Measure Priority, while 25% (6 of 24) of the measures address the Safety Meaningful Measure Priority, reflecting the importance in improving healthcare quality and patient well-being.

By publishing this List, CMS makes these 24 measures publicly available and will seek input through public comments by the CMS Consensus Based-Entity (CBE). Public commenting is anticipated to be open from Tuesday, December 16, until Tuesday, January 6. For more information or to submit a comment, please visit: p4qm.org/prmr-measures
