Background
A Clinical Decision Support Mechanism (CDSM) is an interactive, electronic tool for use by clinicians that communicates appropriate use criteria (AUC) information to the user and assists them in making the most appropriate treatment decision for a patient’s specific clinical condition. They may be modules within or available through certified electronic health record (EHR) technology.
Applicants Seeking CDSM Qualification
- Applications must document current adherence to the qualified CDSM requirements under 42 CFR 414.94(g)(1) OR how and when each requirement is reasonably expected to be met.
- CMS has not provided an application template.
- Send applications to ImagingAUC@cms.hhs.gov by January 1.
We will post qualified CDSMs to our website. All qualified CDSMs must re-apply every five years and applications must be received by January 1 during the fifth year of their approval.
