I would really appreciate a confirmation that this is in motion. I have heard rumors via SCCM that it was going to be a CMS measure in the future but no firm date was shared. Any info would be welcome!

Has anyone else heard about this and what steps are other institutions taking to prepare for this? Also, are you planning, if you currently do so, to continue submitting data to the SSC database and then also using whatever software you currently use to submit the CMS measures? Any thoughts and feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time and willingness to share!
