The Medicare ACCESS model will reach 165 million more Americans in other payer markets by 2028, according to an announcement by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Thursday.  While the initial ACCESS model would allow Medicare beneficiaries to benefit from health technology for the treatment and management of chronic conditions, other healthcare payers have now signed on to a pledge that would expand the model to the Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial markets. 

# [CMS’ Roadmap for Switching to FHIR-Based Digital Quality Measures](https://www.hcinnovationgroup.com/policy-value-based-care/value-based-care-quality-measurement/article/55355919/cms-roadmap-for-switching-to-fhir-based-digital-quality-measures)

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is moving steadily toward the use of FHIR-based digital quality measures (dQMs). CMS believes dQMs will enable a more dynamic, interoperable, and comprehensive approach to quality measurement than the electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) currently in use.
