UNDER THIS DESIGNATION, THE INSTITUTE HAS AND CONTINUES TO DEVELOP SPECIFIC APPROPRIATE USE CRITERIA FOR ADVANCED IMAGING PROCEDURES. THESE CRITERIA ARE ELECTRONICALLY MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AND ARE LICENSED FOR USE BY FEDERALLY-QUALIFIED CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT MECHANISMS. CURRENTLY, MEDICARE CLINICIANS WHO ORDER ADVANCED IMAGING STUDIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT APPROPRIATE USE CRITERIA DEVELOPED BY A PLE. EXPENSES ARE RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS PROGRAM, INCLUDING STIPENDS FOR MEDICAL SUBJECT EXPERTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE CDI QUALITY INSTITUTE IS QUALIFIED BY CMS AS A PROVIDER LED ENTITY AND DEVELOPS APPROPRIATE USE CRITERIA GUIDELINES FOR ADVANCED IMAGING. OVER THE PAST NUMBER OF YEARS, THE INSTITUTE HAD LICENSED THESE CRITERIA TO CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT VENDORS. CURRENTLY, CMS HAS PAUSED THE APPROPRIATE USE CRITERIA PROGRAM, WHICH HAS ALSO PAUSED ANY LICENSING OF CRITERIA FROM THE INSTITUTE. AS CONGRESS CONTINUES TO INVESTIGATE A WAY FORWARD FOR THIS PROGRAM, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL LICENSING SEEN AGAIN IN FUTURE YEARS.
