Shape the Future of ENT Quality Measurement
Three Ways to Shape ENT Quality Measures
Vote on Measure Priorities
We're prioritizing new quality measures for development and we need your input. When evaluating measures, we consider attribution, scoring implications, patient populations, care gaps, and overall clinical relevance, but your priorities guide our decisions.
WHAT TO DO:
Review our proposed measure concepts and vote on which ones should be prioritized for development. Your feedback helps us focus resources on measures that will have the greatest impact on ENT care and preserve MIPS scoring potential.

Have an Idea for a New Measure?
We're actively seeking new measure topics and concepts that address gaps in ENT quality measurement. Whether it's prevention, management of acute or chronic conditions, appropriate use, or patient-reported outcomes, we want to hear your ideas.
What Makes a Strong Measure Concept
Addresses a Gap Fills a performance or measurement need not currently met by existing QCDR or QPP measures.
Evidence-Based Supported by clinical guidelines, peer-reviewed research, or established best practices in otolaryngology.
Clinically Feasible Data elements can be captured within existing clinical workflows without significant additional burden.
Patient-Focused Measures outcomes that matter to both patients and providers, including patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
Not Duplicative Adds meaningful value beyond measures already in the Reg-ent QCDR inventory.
Beyond Standard Care Measures quality improvement and clinical excellence, not basic standards expected of all providers.
How the Development Process Works
From your idea to a validated ENT quality measure.
STEP 1
Submit Your Proposal
Share new concepts or prioritize existing proposals through the Reg-ent measures development process.
STEP 2
Expert Review
The Reg-ent team evaluates each concept for feasibility, evidence base, and clinical relevance.
STEP 3
Development
Approved concepts are developed into full measures with clinical and technical specifications.
STEP 4
Testing and Validation
Face validity surveys and pilot testing with practitioners refine each measure before finalization.
STEP 5
Implementation
Approved measures are added to the Reg-ent inventory and become available for MIPS reporting.
STEP 6
Continuous Improvement
Ongoing feedback from participants refines measures over time to reflect evolving clinical practice.
