When initiating an online measure submission, the measure steward/developer may contact the <a href="mailto:PQMSupport@battelle.org">CMS CBE</a> for assistance.</p><p>The CMS CBE requires measure stewards/developers to submit an ITS through its <a href="https://p4qm.org/measures">Submission Tool and Repository (STAR)</a> at least 1 month prior to the FMS deadline for the intended review cycle. STAR is an online platform where measure stewards/developers can submit measures and any interested party may search and view measure information, including the endorsement status. The database is updated regularly as measure stewards/developers submit new and maintenance measures to the CMS CBE for endorsement review.</p><p>The ITS submission notifies the CMS CBE of the measure steward’s/developer’s readiness to submit a measure for endorsement consideration and allows opportunity for technical assistance before submission. See an <a href="https://p4qm.org/sites/default/files/2023-08/Intent-to-Submit-Form-Template.docx">example</a> of the information needed to submit the ITS. </p><p>If the measure steward/developer is submitting to the CBE for the first time when submitting the ITS, the measure steward/developer must complete the <a href="https://p4qm.org/sites/default/files/2023-04/QMDSA-FORM-4-20-23-FILLABLE-508.pdf">Quality Measure Developer and Steward Agreement (QMDSA)</a>.
