In this episode of The Weekly Quality Brief, Erin Heilman and Kristen Beatson answer questions from healthcare quality professionals about SEP-1 abstraction requirements, imaging eCQM vendor options, and PRO-PM reporting timelines. They review how SEP-1 evaluates only the first IV antibiotic dose and does not assess antibiotic selection, and discuss available vendor options for the ExRad eCQM and related implementation considerations. The discussion also covers Information Transfer PRO-PM reporting timelines under the TEAM model, including baseline and performance periods, as well as requirements for THA/TKA PRO-PM survey completion when pre-operative data is missing. Additional topics include current limitations related to NHSN digital quality measures, Quality Academy session registration processes, and a walkthrough of eCQM Readiness Playbook resources used to support workflow review, mapping, and validation efforts.
