Call for Technical Expert Panel (TEP)

Welcome to CMS Quality Measures Call for Technical Expert Panel.

A Technical Expert Panel (TEP) is a group of stakeholders and experts who provide input to the measure contractor on the development, selection, and maintenance of measures for which the contractor is responsible. Convening the TEP is one important step in the measure development or reevaluation process that ensures transparency and allows an opportunity to obtain balanced, multi-stakeholders input.

Recognized experts in the relevant fields including clinicians, statisticians, quality improvement experts, methodologists, and pertinent measure developers are being recruited to provide input on the measures under development or under reevaluation as required by the contract. TEP members are chosen to provide input to the measure contractor based on their personal experience and training. The TEP is chosen to represent a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds.

The following measures are posted for a call for nomination of TEP members. To participate, select the appropriate measure below. To be notified of when the next Call for Technical Expert Panel is scheduled, please see the "Related Links Inside CMS" (below) to sign up on the Mailing List.
