CMS Launches QualTech to ID New Tech Solutions

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), through the Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ), on Aug. 17 said it is launching QualTech, an industry event initiative designed to identify innovative technology solutions aligned to key quality-related priorities and advance better health outcomes.

As part of the announcement, CMS is inviting proposed technology solutions from U.S.-based teams, academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, private sector entities, industry associations, and other organizations with technology solutions or capabilities aligned to CMS quality priorities.

“Following review of submissions, finalists will be invited to participate in the QualTech Event at CMS Headquarters, where they will present their proposed technology solutions to CMS and CCSQ leadership, subject matter experts, and invited stakeholders,” the agency said.

Following the QualTech Event, CMS may pursue continued engagement with select organizations, including future demonstrations, pilots, collaboration discussions, and a potential role in the 2027 CMS Quality Conference.
